Chapter 1179: Contest Over Hei Fan Grotto-heaven (3/3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Huff, huff, huff…"
Fang Yuan floated in the air, breathing roughly as he looked at the battlefield.
An intense battle had ended.
The battlefield was completely deformed, there were many pits with mangled corpses of ice spike divine apes inside, flames that were created with fire path killer moves were still burning quietly. There was frost mixed with blood, snapped bones and flesh, as well as leaves from the desolate plant snow willows.
The Gu Immortals were either injured or dead.
They were all injured, but the one that died was the theft path female Gu Immortal.
She had not been killed by the heavenly dragon, but was killed by the cooperation of Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's clones when she rushed to assist in the battle, losing her life.
Fang Yuan was also injured.
His left lung was punctured by an ice spike, an icicle with the size of a javelin was still stabbed into his chest.
His lower limbs were covered in a thick layer of frost, much of his flesh had already gone necrotic.
The sovereign immortal body had a huge advantage, that was the non-conflicting dao marks. But this was also a major flaw. Once Fang Yuan was hit by an attack that penetrated his defenses, he would take the damage fully, the attacks would not be weakened by the dao marks in his body.
In this battle, Fang Yuan learned deeply about the weak point of the sovereign immortal body due to this trait.
"My defensive killer move is still too weak."
"Blood asset Immortal Gu is still recovering, I cannot use bloodstained conqueror's robe. My time path defensive methods are not exemplary either."
Even though Fang Yuan obtained Hei Fan's true inheritance, the true core Immortal Gu, Years Flow Like Water, was sealed. This Immortal Gu had a huge flaw, once its aura was leaked, it would draw immemorial year beasts to it.
Once something of rank eight battle strength entered Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture, he would definitely lose, he would only be able to leave his body as a soul and give up on the sovereign immortal body.
Hei Fan's true inheritance had very outstanding defensive methods, but they used Years Flow Like Water as the core.
Fang Yuan's current defensive killer move used year Gu, the effect was weaker. It was what Hei Fan used in his earlier days. When he reached rank seven, he stopped using it.
"Heavenly Lord Bai Zu is an enslavement path rank eight indeed, truly formidable!"
"Even though he is outside the grotto-heaven, and only using his clones to battle, he can still fight to this extent, I am truly inferior."
"And the distortion of space to send desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts into the grotto-heaven, it is truly extraordinary!"
In this battle, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu sent in a hundred ice spike divine apes and a large number of desolate plant snow willows. During the process of fighting, distorted shadows appeared constantly, even though the Gu Immortals desperately tried to block them, two icefall divine apes still managed to get in.
Ice spike divine ape.
Icefall divine ape.
The two were closely related.
The former was a desolate beast, it had jade green eyes with frosty azure pupils, the hairs on its body were like icicles all over it. The latter was an ancient desolate beast, its body was like snow, its eyes were bloodshot, its fur was like icicles stabbing towards the sky.
Fang Yuan was familiar with the ice spike divine ape, long ago, Lang Ya blessed land had one.
Later, Fang Yuan borrowed it to defend Hu Immortal blessed land, he defended against a wave of attacks from Immortal Crane Sect.
After that, the ice spike divine ape died during the battle to defend Lang Ya blessed land.
Fang Yuan had also fought against the icefall divine ape.
That was during Hei Lou Lan's immortal ascension, the tribulation in the northern icy plain, because of Reckless Savage's true meaning, it turned into the divine ape.
"Right now it seems, the icefall divine ape created from the tribulation cannot match a real divine ape in battle strength."
"Actually, if these desolate beasts and desolate plants are all there is to it, it is not difficult to deal with even though it is troublesome. Most importantly, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's clones are manipulating and controlling them, that makes a completely different story."
"Especially the desolate beasts and desolate plants, they form into troops and move as one. They have incredible battle strength when enslavement path killer moves are used, it is very shocking."
Fang Yuan recalled the entire battle, he could see how powerful a rank eight Gu Immortal was.
Even though his main body did not enter the battlefield, by just directing the battle in the grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan was not his match.
They were able to win in battle because all of the immortals gathered their strength.
"Such a miserable battle, if we were to fight a few more of those, my green grape immortal essence would be completely dried up."
"Year Gu has fallen in terms of years, I need to parallel refine it."
"Healing my injuries also consumed a lot of time and immortal essence."
Fang Yuan could not bear such expenditure.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's losses were more severe than Fang Yuan's.
Fighting up to this point, Chu Du's side had been relying on Hei Fan grotto-heaven, dragging on this battle into a deadlock, the two sides were truly in a battle of attrition.
The Gu Immortals expended their immortal essence, while Heavenly Lord Bai Zu expended the foundation in the grotto-heaven. Both sides could not back down, they were trying to see which would be unable to continue first.
The following battles became more intense.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's attempts might have failed, but there was an effect.
He had attempted to create temporary bases in Hei Fan grotto-heaven, after he stabilized a foothold, he sent in ancient desolate beasts, causing Chu Du's side to have much difficulty in defending.
Looking at the entire battle in Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had initially sent clones to attack the different resource points and target Chu Du's foundation. He succeeded.
Next, he sent in large numbers of desolate beasts and caused the battle to tilt in his favor.
Now, he changed his battle tactics, he built temporary bases and forced the Gu Immortals to attack him instead.
Even though Chu Du, Fang Yuan and the rest had the advantage in numbers, and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was just alone, he controlled the entire situation, suppressing Chu Du, Fang Yuan and the rest.
Even though Fang Yuan and the others resisted strongly, they could not stop the situation from tilting in Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's favor.
Both sides were persisting.
But Fang Yuan was the first to lose in attrition.
He was a rank seven Gu Immortal on the surface, but in truth, he had been using green grape immortal essence the entire time.
Chu Du's expression was quite ugly.
Especially when he was alone with Fang Yuan, he put away his front and showed an expression of worry.
He said to Fang Yuan: "I have already recruited all the people I could possible rope in."
"But this battle's eventual winner will be Heavenly Lord Bai Zu. Even though we did not fight against his main body, we are unable to challenge the foundation of a rank eight."
"The real key in deciding victory is not in this battlefield, but the Bai Zu tribe outside."
Chu Du was clear about the situation.
He and Fang Yuan had the same idea, after all, great minds think alike.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu himself had no weakness, his only weakness was the Bai Zu tribe that he had just recently created.
Chu Du's arrangements were taking effect in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world.
Rumors were spread.
"Heavenly Lord Bai Zu is attacking Hei Fan grotto-heaven, if he succeeds in getting the place, his strength will rise to a new level."
"Even though Bai Zu tribe has just been built, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu is holding it up, their only weakness is their weak foundation. Once Hei Fan grotto-heaven becomes Bai Zu tribe's territory, in decades, Bai Zu tribe will surpass every Huang Jin tribe."
"Heavenly Lord Bai Zu is a lone cultivator, he does not have Huang Jin bloodline, the strengthening of Bai Zu tribe is actually beneficial towards the survival of demonic and lone immortals."
All sorts of rumors and discussions were going on, the main topic was on Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's threat, and the emphasis that he was not a descendant of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's bloodline.
Not just this, there were some Gu Immortals pretending to be from Bai Zu tribe, causing trouble everywhere and provoking the super forces.
Bai Zu tribe's leader, Bai Zu Wei, had already died on the battlefield, and Bai Zu tribe's new leader did not have enough capability, he was facing huge trouble, he was telling Heavenly Lord Bai Zu about the difficulties and danger Bai Zu tribe was facing, and that they had enemies on all fronts.
But Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was unmoved.
He replied: "This is Chu Du's ploy. Chu Du is neither from the righteous path nor has the Huang Jin bloodline, if our Bai Zu tribe deals with him, those people from Huang Jin tribes would be most pleased."
"Chu Du let out these rumors and pretended to be us, purposely provoking those tribes, this is his scheme, it shows that he is weak now on the inside, only putting up a front."
"The other tribes are not idiots, they could tell what Chu Du was doing, but because of my deterrence as a rank eight, they did not dare to do anything."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu has excellent astuteness, he was clear of the situation, he was determined to take down Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
He had chosen the best timing.
Yao Huang and Old Ancestor Xue Hu were busy refining Gu. Five Elements Grandmaster was busy dealing with Longevity Heaven, and even though Prince Feng Xian was doing nothing on the surface, he was secretly retrieving blessed lands.
For Fang Yuan, it was becoming harder and harder to endure as time passed.
To increase his amount of green grape immortal essence, he had to start selling desolate beasts in treasure yellow heaven.
He originally had two spinefin star dragonfish, he sold them to replenish his immortal essence stones out of necessity.
This was starting to harm his immortal aperture's foundation.
Earlier, he had been in a positive feedback loop due to his financial management and growth, but now, he was facing a vicious downward cycle.
Undoubtedly, this was a warning signal.
"In terms of blessed land foundation, I surpass Chu Du, but green grape immortal essence is my greatest weakness, thus, I was the first to burn out among the immortals. It seems that after this battle, I need to advance to rank seven as soon as possible!"
The battle situation was becoming more intense, temporary camps were already being built, Chu Du had to act in person and destroy them all.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu chose very good timings, on multiple dangerous occasions, he nearly managed to arrive with his true body.
Fang Yuan secretly asked Lang Ya Sect for help.
He said to Lang Ya land spirit: This was the best chance to recruit Chu Du.
But Lang Ya land spirit caved in when faced against a rank eight Gu Immortal. He clearly expressed that Lang Ya Sect would not help. If something happened to Fang Yuan, he had to keep Lang Ya Sect a secret, if he revealed anything, the alliance agreement would kill him.
"Even though I can still hold on, I have thought about it, the battle result has been decided, there is no point in wasting more resources." Chu Du decided to give up. He did not conceal this thought from Fang Yuan, he looked for Fang Yuan to talk about it.
Fang Yuan had already been wanting to back out, he quickly agreed.
However, just as Chu Du and Fang Yuan were talking about their retreat plans, the commotion in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world changed.
All of the Huang Jin tribes, the righteous path super forces, united and wanted to pass judgment on Bai Zu tribe.
To think that at the final crucial moment, a change for the better had arrived!

Chapter 1180: Heaven and Human Path, Grandmaster Discusses Dao
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Some days ago.
Longevity Heaven.
This was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's rank nine grotto-heaven! Golden light enveloped the Four Desolations, an azure hue shone over the Eight Extremities.
Four Desolations and Eight Extremities, these formed the terrain of Longevity Heaven, much like how sovereign immortal aperture had the nine heavens and five regions.
And at the heart of the Four Desolations, at the center of the Eight Extremities, an Immortal Gu House was shining in a profound white light, shooting towards the skies. It resonated with the entirety of Longevity Heaven, emitting a loud humming sound.
Rank eight Immortal Gu House, Calamity Luck Altar.
Three floors of round altars with multiple pillars holding it up, white jade railings and shining aurora.
Eight Gu Immortals in Longevity Heaven were standing at the center of the nine corners of Calamity Luck Altar, doing their best to concentrate in controlling the operations of Calamity Luck Altar.
At the center of Calamity Luck Altar, lightning was flashing, dragons were dancing, luck was steaming, as clouds enveloped the area.
A Gu Immortal's figure was seated on the ground, resisting the might of Calamity Luck Altar.
Around him, there was a ring, it was flying around and surrounding his body, emitting light in five colors.
"Five Elements Grandmaster, you might have rank eight cultivation level, but inside the Calamity Luck Altar, you cannot turn this around! I urge you to surrender, when our Four Desolation Immortals awaken, perhaps you might have a chance of survival." The leader of the eight Gu Immortals, Heaven Extremity, snorted and said.
It turned out that the Gu Immortal trapped in the center of Calamity Luck Altar was one of the five rank eight existences in Northern Plains — Five Elements Grandmaster!
Five Elements Grandmaster laughed loudly: "The rank eight Immortal Gu House is nothing impressive! You Eight Extremities have combined forces to manipulate it, after suppressing me for this long, even using the might of Longevity Heaven to try and kill me, but now, you have not even broken through the first layer of my five elements ring. Heaven Extremity, you have the face to ask me to surrender?"
Heaven Extremity sneered: "That is because you do not know the mystical power of Calamity Luck Altar! Its true ability is to reverse calamity and luck, turning calamity into luck, and luck into calamity. By interlinking calamity and luck, it becomes unceasing. This is the profundity of heaven and earth luck! As a mere lone cultivator, how can you possibly understand?"
Hearing the words heaven and earth luck, Five Elements Grandmaster's smugness vanished, disappearing from his face.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable created luck path, his entire life's cultivation was summarized into three parts, self luck, all living being's luck, and heaven and earth luck.
Among which, heaven and earth luck was created during Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's later years, it was grand and deep, deciphering the mysteries of heaven and earth. Five Elements Grandmaster had stalled in his advancement now, he could not break through on his own, thus, he sneaked into Longevity Heaven and tried to steal the heaven and earth luck true inheritance.
But to think that even though the Four Desolation Immortals were asleep in Longevity Heaven, the defense still exceeded Five Elements Grandmaster's expectations.
After some fighting, Five Elements Grandmaster was trapped inside Calamity Luck Altar, he was suppressed by the Eight Extremities, unable to get free.
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had three rank eight Immortal Gu Houses in his life, I've known about Calamity Luck Altar since long ago. But reversing calamity and luck, just what constitutes as reversing calamity and luck?" Five Elements Grandmaster thought for a moment before asking.
The Eight Extremities looked at each other, evidently surprised.
But soon, they reacted.
Heaven Extremity sighed internally: "I have long since heard that Five Elements Grandmaster has an incredible thirst towards knowledge, when he was mortal, he hid his identity and went around learning from different masters. After becoming a Gu Immortal, in order to obtain some experience and guidance from Gu Immortals, he was willing to be at their beck and call. This time, he actually asked his enemies for guidance inside the formation. He is truly passionate! However, an ignorant person fears nothing, if I inform him of the truth, I can strike a blow at his confidence and morale!"
Thinking of this, Heaven Extremity spoke: "Right now, the outcome has been decided, it is fine even if I tell you. Calamity Luck Altar was purposely left in Longevity Heaven by Ancestor Giant Sun, it was to defend Longevity Heaven. Reversing calamity and luck, we can turn calamities and tribulations into our own good luck. Right now, you came to invade Longevity Heaven, it was our human calamity. By using this Calamity Luck Altar, we can turn this difficulty into good luck, turning disaster into fortune. You will end up contributing to Longevity Heaven's eternal existence."
"Superb, brilliant!" Five Elements Grandmaster listened with shining eyes, he asked again: "If a human calamity is like this, then what about earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations?"
"We naturally reverse them as well, heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities do not cause any damage, they instead become nourishment for our Longevity Heaven." Heaven Extremity said proudly.
Five Elements Grandmaster had wide opened eyes: "Longevity Heaven is a rank nine grotto-heaven and has not absorbed any fragments of the immemorial nine heavens. By relying on Calamity Luck Altar, it can go through all of its calamities and tribulations?"
"Hahaha! You are already a rank eight Gu Immortal, but you do not even know about the origins of calamities and tribulations?" Heaven Extremity laughed in disdain.
Five Elements Grandmaster was not upset, he asked humbly: "I hope you can teach me, Heaven Extremity."
Heaven Extremity sensed Five Elements Grandmaster's earnest attitude and the disdain inside him vanished, turning into traces of admiration.
He sighed, answering: "Why do humans have calamities and tribulations? The truth is, not just humans, but desolate beasts and desolate plants also have them. Like the thousand snakes haze tree, it faces the tribulation lightning."
"The origin of calamities and tribulations is in the principles of heaven. Heaven takes away surpluses while replenishing deficits, it emphasizes on balance and maintains this over cycles. Any existence which breaks the cycle of balance will face calamities and tribulations."
"But humans possess the greatest intelligence. Thus, we are more of a threat than beasts or plants. Gu Immortals can manage their own small worlds, it draws wariness and attacks from heaven."
"What is calamity? What is luck?" Heaven Extremity suddenly asked.
Five Elements Grandmaster had a realization, he spoke immediately:" I understand. Heaven takes away surpluses while replenishing deficits, the so-called calamity takes away surpluses, while luck replenishes deficits."
Heaven Extremity raised his eyebrows: "You answered correctly, that is exactly the case! And my Ancestor Giant Sun was extremely talented, he created luck path. It targets the operations of the principles of heaven. Self luck true inheritance replenishes oneself. All living being's luck takes away others' surpluses to replenish oneself. While heaven and earth luck takes away heaven and earth's surpluses to replenish oneself."
"So that's it." Five Elements Grandmaster sighed deeply: "No wonder Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not enter Heavenly Court during his life."
Heavenly Court followed the will of heaven, and upholded justice for heaven.
Meanwhile, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path usurped the authority of heaven and earth. When nature operated according to the principles of heaven, and an individual was determined to be too strong and breaking the balance, it would generate calamities and tribulations to suppress them. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path avoided calamities and tribulations, and in the section of heaven and earth luck, it directly turned calamities and tribulations into fortuitous encounters. Heaven and earth suppresses me, it wants to take away my surpluses to replenish others' deficits, then I shall go ahead and take away heaven and earth's surpluses to replenish my own deficits!
As the saying goes, there is nothing to say if there were opposing objectives!
"If heaven cannot use calamities and tribulations to destroy Longevity Heaven, it will use human calamities to destroy it." Heaven Extremity continued: "And you, Five Elements Grandmaster, were subconsciously influenced by heaven's will, eventually becoming the human calamity that is here to destroy my Longevity Heaven! What a pity that you, a great rank eight, were influenced by heaven's will without even knowing it."
"Hahaha, I have learned much." Five Elements Grandmaster laughed grandly: "Even if it is heaven's will influencing me, so what? This is also my own intention! And I believe that man will triumph over heaven. No matter how vast heaven's will is, it cannot compare to the will of humans. Throughout the long history of humanity, we were so weak and feeble, pushed aside and humiliated everywhere, until we became the overlords of the world today, suppressing all variant humans and other life forms under our feet! The human race is the one that destroys the balance the most, but can heaven suppress us? There were ten rank nine venerables in human history, and countless Gu Immortals among us, we roam heaven and earth, we can capture stars and overturn mountains and rivers, what can heaven do?"
Heaven Extremity laughed, the other seven also expressed joy.
This joy was the joy of meeting a companion, someone who shared similar understanding and aspirations as oneself.
Heaven Extremity's laughter faded: "It seems that you, Five Elements Grandmaster, have also been reading The Legends of Ren Zu frequently."
"Of course. The Legends of Ren Zu contains Ren Zu's human path true inheritance! Every Gu Immortal who cultivates to a high level will try to benefit from it. Unfortunately, I do not have the wisdom and comprehension ability, I can only read the meaning that human path triumphs over heaven path. I had once heard that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable created self luck and reached an impasse where he stalled. He only obtained an inspiration after reading The Legends of Ren Zu, creating all living being's luck. After that, he went on to ascend to the Immortal Venerable throne, before creating heaven and earth luck." Five Elements Grandmaster continued.
Heaven Extremity nodded: "Indeed."
Five Elements Grandmaster went on: "I am a Northern Plainsman, born and bred here. Even though I do not have the Huang Jin bloodline, I admire Giant Sun Immortal Venerable greatly. Human path triumphs over heaven path, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path is deeply using the essence of human path! The trend of the rule of humanity cannot be overturned, it cannot be defied. Even heaven is not its match! Do you all agree with me?"
"Of course that is the case." Heaven Extremity replied arrogantly.
Five Elements Grandmaster smiled lightly: "The trend of humanity is clear to everyone here. But the trend of Northern Plains, can you see it clearly?"
Heaven Extremity's expression changed: "What are you trying to say?"
Five Elements Grandmaster said calmly but loudly: "Right now, Northern Plains' trend in terms of humanity is that the demonic path is rising up while righteous path is shifting lower. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building collapsed, allowing many lone immortals and demonic path members to gain strength. Heavenly Lord Bai Zu created Bai Zu tribe personally, allowing the righteous path to have a different bloodline."
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's hereditary monarchy was indeed a grand aspiration, but it was really quite restrictive, Northern Plains is not his to begin with. It belongs to all Northern Plainsmen. The death of a person is like the snuffing of a candle, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's influence has affected Northern Plains for so long, so many years! It is time to change!"
"A load of nonsense!!!" Heaven Extremity was furious, the other seven extremities also started berating angrily.
Five Elements Grandmaster was very tranquil: "You are angry and furious, that is because of the fear in your hearts. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Huang Jin tribes, they have dominated Northern Plains, ruling over it, it is starting to decline now. Just like the ten great ancient sects in Central Continent, they seem strong, but they are rotten on the inside, there are many internal conflicts and useless members. What about the lone immortals and demonic cultivators? Look at Northern Plains' rank eight Gu Immortals, how many have Huang Jin bloodline?"
"Old Ancestor Xue Hu is demonic path, I am a lone immortal, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu turned from lone to righteous path, Prince Feng Xian is a member of Gong tribe, but he is not of Huang Jin bloodline. Only Yao Huang alone is holding up the Huang Jin tribes' reputation."

Chapter 1181: Sudden Changes, Benefits are Key
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Five Elements Grandmaster: "Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is a forewarning, while Bai Zu tribe's creation is an obvious sign. Next, the influence of the Huang Jin tribes will start to fade away."
"Because this is the trend of humanity in Northern Plains!"
"You say that I was affected by heaven's will, that is not so! I was rushed here by the tide of humanity, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's reputation can no longer intimidate me, he has been dead for too long!"
"Next, more Gu Immortals will be discontent with the Huang Jin tribes, and covet your wealth. Northern Plains is full of battles, Northern Plains Gu Immortals have bravery and fighting spirit, suppression would only be met with even more resolute and crazed resistance."
"I am just the first person to come to Longevity Heaven. Next, more and more will come here. Are you prepared for it?"
There was silence.
The Eight Extremities were so angry they were trembling, having cold expressions.
Heaven Extremity had a stiff expression, he smiled forcefully: "Amazing rank eight Gu Immortal, amazing Five Elements Grandmaster. You want to convince us that instead of being wiped out by this trend, we should merge and ride the wave, imitating Gong tribe to take in more lone immortals and demonic cultivators, to recruit a rank eight Gu Immortal like you?"
"We do not have a deep feud, we can cooperate." Five Elements Grandmaster said solemnly: "Even though the Four Desolation Immortals are rank eight, they have little lifespan, they cannot move around freely. I have no such problems."
Heaven Extremity laughed maniacally: "Hahaha! You? You are looking down on the foundation of the Huang Jin tribes! Or rather, you are looking down on Ancestor Giant Sun! If not for you, us Eight Extremities would have gone to rebuild Eighty-Eight True Yang Building already. And that Bai Zu tribe is merely a short-lived flicker. Such impure bloodline and he wants to be in the righteous path? Heavenly Lord Bai Zu? Is he worthy?! The righteous path of Northern Plains are the Huang Jin tribes!"
Liu tribe's base camp.
Xuan Bai blessed land.
"Ah, the Longevity Edict!" Liu tribe's first supreme elder was extremely shocked, he quickly knelt down and received it.
Liu tribe was one of the super forces, a Huang Jin tribe, the descendants of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
Meanwhile, Longevity Heaven was the rank nine grotto-heaven of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, among the Huang Jin tribes, it represented supreme authority.
Liu tribe's first supreme elder received the Longevity Edict.
The Longevity Edict was golden in color, it resembled a token, but it was in essence, an information path Immortal Gu.
He felt a sensation and understood the information in the Longevity Edict.
Liu tribe's first supreme elder frowned: "Longevity Heaven has orders for us Huang Jin tribes to work together and deal with Bai Zu tribe?"
This order caught him off guard.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was fighting with Chu Du, the entirety of Liu tribe's Gu Immortals were happy to see this.
Bai Zu tribe took over Hei tribe, their forces bordered Liu tribe. Because Bai Zu tribe had a rank eight Gu Immortal, Liu tribe had a very vigilant attitude, while feeling deep wariness.
And Chu Du had a feud with Liu tribe, his reputation as Domination Immortal was mostly due to Liu tribe to begin with.
The contest between these two, in Liu tribe's opinion, was one foe fighting another. Liu tribe was watching on the fence, wanting to see them both suffer losses.
Chu Du was in trouble, Liu tribe felt good seeing it, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had taken revenge for them.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu suffering losses would cause Bai Zu tribe's reputation to fall in the future, it was a great thing for Liu tribe. Nobody would want a fierce tiger to live around them, a weak neighbor was better than a strong one.
"But now that the Longevity Edict is out, we have to follow it."
"My Liu tribe is close to Hei tribe's former territory, once this battle starts, we will face pressure many times that of the other tribes."
Liu tribe's first supreme elder left his information on Longevity Edict, on the Immortal Gu, before letting it go, as the Longevity Edict tore through the sky.
Next, this Immortal Gu would continue to visit the other Huang Jin tribes.
Back to the present time.
Inside Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
Chu Du and Fang Yuan, who received this information, were surprised and overjoyed.
"All of the righteous path super forces, the Huang Jin tribes are attacking Bai Zu tribe, this way, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu is bound to retreat." Fang Yuan spoke with a smile.
"The Huang Jin tribes that have never gotten along are acting in unison at such speed, I wonder what happened." Chu Du was confused.
Fang Yuan's eyes shined: "Perhaps Longevity Heaven sent an edict."
"Longevity Heaven?" Chu Du's expression changed, he thought for a while: "It seems that is the only reason."
In fact, the situation of the forces in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world was quite similar to Central Continent.
Central Continent had ten great ancient sects, Northern Plains had the Huang Jin bloodline super forces, Central Continent had the Heavenly Court ruling above, while Northern Plains had Longevity Heaven that stood in the sky.
More similarly, the ten great ancient sects were the lower level sects of Heavenly Court, while Longevity Heaven similarly had great influence on the Northern Plains Huang Jin tribes.
Perhaps in the past, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had imitated Central Continent, purposely creating this situation.
"Why did Longevity Heaven suddenly send an edict, ordering the Huang Jin tribes to work together and deal with Bai Zu tribe? Bai Zu tribe is backed by a rank eight Gu Immortal." Chu Du thought, feeling doubts.
What made him unable to comprehend it was, if Longevity Heaven wanted to deal with Bai Zu tribe, the best time to strike was when Hei tribe had just been destroyed.
But at that time, Longevity Heaven did not act. So why did they wait until now? Was Longevity Heaven also interested in Hei Fan grotto-heaven?
Thinking of this possibility, Chu Du's heart sank.
"No matter what, we need to make use of the remaining time and talk to Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, ending this conflict. Immortal Gu 'No' and 'Care' were prepared for this moment." Fang Yuan reminded.
Chu Du came back to his senses, he said solemnly: "You are right."
He immediately sent his clone to converse with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.
Right now, Chu Du was the owner of Hei Fan grotto-heaven, he had made many arrangements here, the Gu worms that he sent out were not detected by others.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had more information than Chu Du.
He knew that right forces, the righteous path forces were coming at Bai Zu tribe because Longevity Heaven had directly sent a Longevity Edict!
He was very shocked, he did not know why Longevity Heaven was suddenly finding trouble with him.
In the past, when creating the tribe, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was worried about Longevity Heaven, he was waiting for a response from them.
Longevity Heaven's silence made Heavenly Lord Bai Zu feel like he had probed its bottom line. He thought: As a grand rank eight, Longevity Heaven might not want to deal with him, after all, there was no good reason for it.
The commotion and change in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world made Heavenly Lord Bai Zu very perplexed.
"Yao Huang and Prince Feng Xian are righteous path Gu Immortals, Prince Feng Xian might not come, but Yao Huang is a true Huang Jin bloodline member. Other than that, there is still Longevity Heaven. Hmm… Five Elements Grandmaster has a good understanding of Longevity Heaven, I might be able to get some information from him."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu thought quickly, the situation was turning for the worse rapidly, he felt immense pressure on him.
He was still unaware that Five Elements Grandmaster was already fighting with Longevity Heaven. In fact, the current situation was caused by the conversation between Five Elements Grandmaster and Heaven Extremity.
"As for Hei Fan grotto-heaven…" Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's gaze became dark, he assessed: "I cannot take it down for now, I should stop. I cannot waste any time and energy now, I need to put all my effort into defending my hard work."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu wanted to retreat.
The reason why he wanted to take down Hei Fan grotto-heaven was due to the loss of his reputation, it might cause a commotion and result in severe losses to Bai Zu tribe's interests.
But now, Bai Zu tribe was in a crisis. Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's own interests were severely infringed now.
This situation was truly the worst, how could Heavenly Lord Bai Zu have any effort to spare for Hei Fan grotto-heaven!
But in this situation, Chu Du's Gu worm arrived in Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's hands.
"Oh? As expected of the Domination Immortal…" After understanding Chu Du's intention, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's gaze became dark and eerie.
The contest for Hei Fan grotto-heaven ended at once!
What made the Northern Plains Gu Immortal world shocked was, Chu Du not only came to a resolution with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, he even gave up a portion of Hei Fan grotto-heaven, and created an alliance with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu!
After achieving the alliance agreement, Chu Du let Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's main body into Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
Using Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's deterrence, he went on to deal with those demonic path and lone immortals that he had invited earlier.
These Gu Immortals were facing Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's main body, how could they dare to resist, they could only lower their heads to Domination Immortal.
Chu Du successfully resisted Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, using the power of Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, he forcefully subdued many lone immortals, gathering everyone and creating Chu Sect on that very day.
Chu Sect.
Using Chu Du's words in his speech: This was the first Gu Immortal sect in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world! It had extraordinary meaning.
Fang Yuan watched coldly from the side, even though Lang Ya Sect was the actual first sect in Northern Plains, Fang Yuan could not help but gasp in admiration towards Chu Du's incredible performance.
Chu Du had truly outdone himself.
He gave up a portion of Hei Fan grotto-heaven, but he managed to obtain a rank eight reinforcement, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu!
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was also a deep schemer.
Northern Plains' situation gave him huge pressure, he had to find external allies.
And Chu Du could guess his mentality, thus he created Chu Sect, it was far easier than for Heavenly Lord Bai Zu when he created Bai Zu tribe.
Chu Du was not all alone, these last years, he had nurtured many strength path Gu Immortals.
And with Hei Fan grotto-heaven, he had a huge basis for development.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu needed Hei Fan grotto-heaven as a backup plan for the entirety of Bai Zu tribe.
Thus, the two sides turned from enemies to allies.
Chou Lao Wu and Hao Zhen, who accidentally killed Bai Zu Wei, were just punished mildly, before they were spared.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu could no longer bother with these two insignificant figures at this point.
Thus, Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu felt immense gratitude towards Domination Immortal, they became the two most loyal people in Chu Sect.
Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world had changed too rapidly.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, who was at the peak of his life earlier, having created his own tribe, was now facing the attack of all the Huang Jin tribes.
Chu Du and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, who were fighting to the death earlier, were now allies.
Ordinary Gu Immortals might be dazzled by these turns of events, but for people like Fang Yuan, it was very clear.
No matter what commotion or changes there were, the key concern throughout was still benefits, it had never changed!

Chapter 1182: Leaving Hei Fan Grotto-Heaven
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside a Gu formation.
Fang Yuan sat quietly on the ground.
Chu Du, as well as the wills of Pang Shan and Not Immortal, were in front of the formation.
"Start." Chu Du said plainly.
The wills of Not Immortal and Pang Shan formed into human shapes, nodding as they activated their Immortal Gu.
One rule path Immortal Gu — No.
The other was also a rule path Immortal Gu, top ten in the List of Mystical Gu — Care.
Red date immortal essence was rapidly expended, the two Immortal Gu were shining in their own profound lights. The two profound lights had different colors, one was black and empty, the other was red and warm like fire.
The black and red lights entered the Gu formation.
Chu Du took action at an appropriate timing, activating this Gu formation, to fuse the power of Immortal Gu No and Immortal Gu Care into it.
The two profound lights fused under the guidance of the Gu formation, creating a half black and half red spiralling pillar of light.
The light pillar completely covered Fang Yuan's body, without any leaks.
A moment later, the light pillar stabilized, it was no longer as distorted as before.
"It is ready." Chu Du reminded.
Fang Yuan thus said: "You will not be able to imagine what is hidden under the northern icy plain, I almost died there…"
He spoke quickly, detailing what happened when he was undergoing tribulation in the northern icy plain, and the terrifying human calamity that he had faced.
The secret of the snowman and rockman tribes in the northern icy plain was revealed to Chu Du.
"To think that there is such a situation! The empty northern icy plain actually has such a powerful variant human force, they have been hidden all along!" Chu Du was extremely shocked.
The wills of Not Immortal and Pang Shan also shook, showing their stirred emotions.
A moment later, the black and red lights faded, the Gu formation stopped its operation, Fang Yuan slowly stood up, getting out of the Gu formation.
He was safe!
Originally, he was a member of the four race alliance, and a guest elder of Lang Ya Sect, he was not able to expose the secrets of the snowmen and rockmen to outsiders.
But because of the Immortal Gu No and Care, along with Chu Du's cooperation, Fang Yuan was able to breach his alliance agreements without facing any harm!
These two Immortal Gu were meant to be used by Chu Du.
Chu Du's intention was to come to a consensus with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu. After defending strongly and refusing to relent in battle, they would eventually settle at an agreement, defending Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
Chu Du had long since planned that if there was no choice, he would secretly sacrifice Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu, to protect Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's reputation, and express his sincerity.
But the actual situation was far better than he had expected.
Perhaps the alliance of all the righteous path forces in attacking Bai Zu tribe had made Heavenly Lord Bai Zu feel strong external pressure.
Because of that, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu did not list any requirements of executing the murderers, he only gave them a light punishment on the surface.
"It is to the credit of these two Immortal Gu, otherwise, I would have no way to explain this situation to you." Fang Yuan pretended to be relieved, he sighed deeply to himself.
Of course, he had withheld some information from Chu Du.
For example, Fang Yuan did not expose Lang Ya blessed land.
Fang Yuan was a vigilant person, he was not going to tell Chu Du everything, he was used to keeping trump cards at hand.
Chu Du said in a heavy tone: "By the looks of it, we cannot continue to undergo tribulation in the northern icy plain."
"Indeed." Fang Yuan nodded, he started to avoid mentioning things related to the four races alliance.
Because the two Immortal Gu No and Care had stopped activating, if Fang Yuan breached the alliance agreements again, he would face intense backlash, he would either be severely injured or dead!
The two Immortal Gu, No and Care, had incredible abilities, but they had to be activated constantly.
Because they had to be used together to allow the Gu Immortal to breach alliance agreements without suffering any damage.
But they could not remove the restrictions of Fang Yuan's alliance agreements completely.
This was a method that resolved the situation but did not solve the underlying problem.
"Regarding this, what are your opinions?" Fang Yuan asked directly.
The wills of Not Immortal and Pang Shan looked at each other.
The former shook his head: "Crazed Demon Cave contains the secret of eternal life, our main bodies would not leave it. As long as humanity is not extinct, we will not come out. The variant humans can develop all they want, even if they become many times stronger, they are not the match of humans."
The latter said: "If we are to deal with the variant humans, it is easy. We just need to announce this information, and the entire Northern Plains Gu Immortal world will go after them."
"No, that way, the northern icy plain will get destroyed. If a huge battle occurs, the icy plain will not remain. And we would not be able to get anything from it, we might even get exposed and implicate Brother Liu." Chu Du shook his head.
"I'm just saying." Pang Shan's will grumbled.
Indeed, if the variant human force underneath the icy plain was exposed, a huge battle would occur. By then, Fang Yuan would be trapped in the middle, he would not have an easy time.
Fang Yuan listened to their words, the worry inside him dissipated by a lot.
Fang Yuan had to tell Chu Du about the situation in the northern icy plain, because they had set an alliance agreement. There would be many opportunities to cooperate in the future.
If Fang Yuan concealed it, he would be greatly restricted.
Chu Du did not attack the variant human force in the icy plain, that was within Fang Yuan's estimations. After all, right now, Chu Du's focus was no longer on tribulations and Reckless Savage's true meaning, it was how to control the situation and cooperate with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu to resist the attacks of the righteous path super forces.
And the wills of Not Immortal and Pang Shan also made Fang Yuan realize the mindset of the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics.
"It seems that these three are bent on researching Crazed Demon Cave. The commotion in the outside world cannot lure them out."
Fang Yuan thought about it, he could understand the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics.
If he did not have so much trouble, he would also do the same thing as them.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan was in a lot of danger, not just Shadow Sect, but also the pursuit of Heavenly Court and other various aspects.
"However, if they know my true identity, how would they react?" Fang Yuan looked at the three, his thoughts were drifting.
After talking for a while, Chu Du kept the two Immortal Gu and the wills of Not Immortal and Pang Shan in his own immortal aperture.
Next, he and Fang Yuan left this underground camp together. After leaving the cave, they got back to the surface of Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
Hei Fan grotto-heaven was currently developing.
Large numbers of variant humans, rockmen, feathermen, and minimen were laboriously working.
Many Gu Immortals would often raise variant human slaves.
Right now, Chu Sect had allied with Bai Zu tribe, these variant humans were slaves that came from Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe.
"Greetings to first supreme elder and second supreme elder." Hao Zhen saw Fang Yuan and Chu Du, quickly taking the initiative to greet them.
Chu Du took the opportunity to create Chu Sect, he even roped in Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was originally unwilling, but Chu Du gave him special treatment, Fang Yuan's alliance agreement for Chu Sect was very loose, it was not restrictive.
And because Fang Yuan intended to continue working with Chu Du, this allowed them to have another layer of relationship.
Chu Du asked about the development status of Hei Fan grotto-heaven, Hao Zhen answered that they were all at the initial stage, but the different Gu Immortals had taken out their resources and relocated them here. There was a crucial point, Fang Yuan had also put in a lot of effort, contributing a lot of resources.
These resources were originally from Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
After going through many places, they were back at their original spots.
Even Fang Yuan did not expect that.
Why did he contribute this huge amount of resources?
Firstly, using the two Immortal Gu No and Care was not free, Fang Yuan had discussed with Chu Du, using this as the compensation.
Secondly, Fang Yuan sold some resources to Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.
Inside Hei Fan grotto-heaven, a large portion was Chu Sect's territory, but a small portion belonged to Bai Zu tribe now.
The entirety of Hei Fan grotto-heaven became the symbol of alliance between Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe.
Fang Yuan and Chu Du said goodbye to Hao Zhen, after flying for a while, Fang Yuan said to Chu Du: "Alright, you don't have to send me off."
Chu Du had a worried look: "Didn't you just obtain Hei Fan's true inheritance. In my opinion, delaying the calamities and tribulations by slowing your immortal aperture's rate of time is most stable. After all, you have just undergone so many battles, if you undergo tribulation after going back, there is a huge risk."
Fang Yuan smiled: "How can there be gains without risks. Furthermore, you are around, if I encounter any sudden danger, I will seek help from you."
Chu Du had an apologetic expression: "It is a pity that Chu Sect was just created, we have strong enemies against us, there is unrest now, otherwise, I would go with you. Have you chosen the tribulation location?"
"Not yet, I need to think about it." Fang Yuan shook his head.
Chu Du opened the grotto-heaven's entrance.
"See you." Fang Yuan stepped out of the grotto-heaven, flying away without looking back.
Chu Du shut the door again, sighing internally.
Fang Yuan was not easy to control, he was very decisive. And Chu Du still had desire towards the immortal tribulation tempering aperture method, but the current situation was very complex.
Fang Yuan's battle strength and his status with the variant humans made Chu Du see a lot of value in him.
Fang Yuan wanted to deepen his cooperation with Chu Du, wasn't Chu Du also thinking the same?
As Fang Yuan left Hei Fan grotto-heaven, in Southern Border, Bai Ning Bing arrived at Jade Pot Mountain.
"Why did you bring me here?" Bai Ning Bing asked directly.
Hei Lou Lan and the others were wondering too.
Ying Wu Xie, who was leading the way, stopped walking, he turned around and smiled: "Bai Ning Bing, you are too weak. This Jade Pot Mountain has our Shadow Sect's arrangements, it has already formed an Immortal Gu. We will take it out and increase your battle strength, so that you can deal with the bet of the Five Xiangs."
"Bet of the Five Xiangs? What is that?" Bai Ning Bing frowned.
Ying Wu Xie laughed loudly: "It is too early to tell you now."
Bai Ning Bing frowned even more deeply now, snorting coldly: "The part about you I hate the most is that air of mystery that you use."
"Insolence!" Shi Nu stared angrily at Bai Ning Bing, he was very unhappy about Bai Ning Bing's arrogant attitude towards Ying Wu Xie.
"No matter, it's no bother." Ying Wu Xie laughed, he did not mind Bai Ning Bing's attitude at all.

Chapter 1183: Entering a New Blessed Land
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan successfully returned to Lang Ya blessed land.
At this moment, his divine sense was in the sovereign immortal aperture.
"I have inspected it eighteen times, there should be no problems. But even if any problems occur, the newly hatched upper extreme heavenly eagle is only at the power of a desolate beast, even if it rebels, there is no danger."
Fang Yuan thought in his mind.
He was inside Mini Purple Heaven in the sovereign immortal aperture.
An ordinary eagle nest was floating in the sky.
Inside the nest, other than an upper extreme heavenly eagle egg, there was nothing else.
Within the surrounding hundred li, Fang Yuan had placed many strength path immortal zombies, desolate beasts, and even the walking meat tree here temporarily, to ensure there were no accidents.
He hatched the upper extreme heavenly eagle once again!
Fang Yuan began to move.
A large amount of fresh blood was taken out by the strength path immortal zombies, before activating Gu worms and fusing the fresh blood perfectly into the upper extreme heavenly eagle's egg.
Fang Yuan had done this once before.
But back then, Fang Yuan used Hei Cheng's blood. This time, Fang Yuan was amply prepared, not only did he change the upper extreme heavenly eagle's memories, he even did some changes to Hei Fan's arrangements left on the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
This way, Fang Yuan could use his own blood to hatch the upper extreme heavenly eagle. It was not like before, using familiar face to conceal himself and become close with the upper extreme heavenly eagle, obtaining the acknowledgement of this immemorial desolate beast.
He went step by step, smoothly progressing, there were no unexpected mishaps.
Eight days and nights later in the immortal aperture, the upper extreme heavenly eagle hatched again, as the baby upper extreme heavenly eagle emerged.
"Chirp, chirp."
The upper extreme heavenly eagle saw 'Fang Yuan' and immediately jumped at him affectionately.
This 'Fang Yuan' was not Fang Yuan's real body, it was a strength path immortal zombie, using familiar face to turn into Fang Yuan's appearance.
Even though it had just hatched, it was not small, when it raised its head, it had the height of a youngster.
The young eagle treated Fang Yuan as its parent, it surrounded him and flapped its wings, chirping and jumping around, extremely happy.
"Alright, alright." Fang Yuan smiled warmly, stretching out his hand and stroking the upper extreme heavenly eagle's head.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle obediently stayed still, its chirping became softer and more intimate.
"Come, eat." Fang Yuan took out a thick and long heavenly crystal.
The heavenly crystal was white and gold, in a translucent state, placing it in front of the young eagle, all of its attention was drawn to it.
Its dark eagle eyes shined with bright light. It began to peck the heavenly crystal, as it broke apart like tofu, the young eagle ate it and swallowed the crystal very quickly.
The young eagle trusted Fang Yuan deeply, it did not hesitate in consuming the heavenly crystal in Fang Yuan's hands.
After eating six heavenly crystals, it stopped in satisfaction.
Its tummy was bloated, the young eagle had become plump, it sat on the ground and chirped, slapping its tummy with its wings continuously, it was very cute and lovable.
"Full?" Fang Yuan smiled warmly, sitting down while leaning on the eagle.
The eagle felt a strong sense of safety, it let down its guard, shutting its eyes as its head lowered, lying on Fang Yuan's lap as it fell asleep.
Fang Yuan stretched out his hand, stroking the young eagle's feathers.
Its newly born feathers were yellow and soft, together with its body warmth, it was very comfortable to touch.
In the following days, Fang Yuan manipulated the strength path immortal zombie as he stayed by the upper extreme heavenly eagle's side.
Other than deepening their relationship, he was also keeping a close eye on it, in case of accidents.
"I have enough heavenly crystal eagle nests." Fang Yuan's divine sense left the eagle nest.
Taking a look, in the surrounding hundreds of li, there were many eagle nests.
There were nearly a hundred eagle nests, Fang Yuan had taken them from Iron Eagle blessed land.
Fang Yuan chose the largest eagle nest as the temporary home for the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
The original heavenly crystal eagle nest had already been completely eaten by the previous upper extreme heavenly eagle, nothing was left.
But now, even though the heavenly crystals in the nests could not nurture the upper extreme heavenly eagle, there was still a pile of them, taller than an adult.
Among these heavenly crystals, a small portion came from Lang Ya land spirit. Fang Yuan had exchanged for them from Lang Ya land spirit using sect contribution points.
The bulk of them were obtained from Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, after Chu Du and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu allied, Fang Yuan had transacted with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu through Chu Du.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was a rank eight Gu Immortal, he had a grotto-heaven, he had a huge stock of heavenly crystals.
In order to get this transaction, while revealing the secrets of the variant human in the northern icy plain to Chu Du, Fang Yuan also told him about the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
Actually, this was already no secret.
Chu Du might have known, while Heavenly Lord Bai Zu definitely knew, because he had taken in the supreme elders of Hei tribe as his subordinates.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu desired the upper extreme heavenly eagle greatly, but currently, he needed Chu Du as an ally. And Chu Du wanted to deepen his cooperation with Fang Yuan, because of all these reasons, Fang Yuan easily succeeded in getting this transaction.
Fang Yuan paid a lot of resources.
But these resources were originally from Hei Fan grotto-heaven anyway. To purchase these heavenly crystals, Fang Yuan sold them all without hesitation.
Be it Chu Sect or Bai Zu tribe, they needed these resources greatly.
Because of their battle, both sides had expended a lot of their foundation, they needed replenishment. And the even better thing was, these resources were originally produced in Hei Fan grotto-heaven, they suited the environment and did not need to adapt.
After successfully hatching the upper extreme heavenly eagle, Fang Yuan settled down and observed it for some more days.
After he confirmed that the upper extreme heavenly eagle had no issues, Fang Yuan immediately left, using Lang Ya Sect's teleportation Gu formation to get to Tai Qiu.
The sixth earthly calamity was about to arrive, there was little time, why was Fang Yuan going to Tai Qiu?
He could not undergo tribulation in Tai Qiu.
Because it was too dangerous.
Ancient desolate beasts and ancient desolate plants lacked intelligence, they were easily influenced by heaven's will, and would form into a giant beast tide.
Fang Yuan followed a route and moved.
He used familiar face, constantly changing his appearance, disguising himself as ancient desolate beasts or desolate beasts to travel, moving in Tai Qiu.
Fang Yuan did not dare to go to the center of Tai Qiu, it was extremely dangerous, there were many wild Immortal Gu there and even immemorial desolate beasts!
Thankfully, his destination was not at the center of Tai Qiu, it was at the fringe.
Three days later, he successfully reached his destination.
The ground in front of him was uneven, even though there was a lot of giant grass, it could not conceal the traces of battle here.
Some mangled corpses were scattered here.
Fang Yuan's gaze swept through the surroundings, he did not discover any danger, he let out a breath of air and relaxed.
"In the previous earthly calamity, I gained a lot of dark path dao marks. This time, I used Dark Limit to hide from heaven's will, the effect is many times better! Thus, I am still safe."
"Then next is…" Fang Yuan mobilized his Gu worms, inspecting the surroundings.
He was very careful, he searched meticulously.
There was a rank seven Immortal Gu in his immortal aperture, Fang Yuan had specially borrowed it from Heavenly Lord Bai Zu. Lending Immortal Gu was also part of Fang Yuan and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's deal. Other than this, there was an immortal killer move.
With this rank seven Immortal Gu as the core, Fang Yuan used the immortal killer move.
Not long after, he had a discovery.
"Good, I recalled correctly! It is here!"
The immortal killer move allowed Fang Yuan to discover a blessed land. It was hidden in empty space, concealed here in the air.
"Good eagle, it is up to you now." Next, Fang Yuan opened the immortal aperture, letting out the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle had grown multiple times in size after these days, but it was still young, it had shiny feathers and sharp eagle eyes, it was quite strong and vigorous looking.
It flew in the sky, carrying Fang Yuan on its back as they flew multiple times in a circle, under Fang Yuan's guidance, it sensed something and changed directions, aiming towards the ground and about to crash.
When it was three meters from the ground, the upper extreme heavenly eagle suddenly went through an entrance, as it vanished from Tai Qiu along with Fang Yuan.
At the next moment, Fang Yuan arrived at a completely new blessed land!

Chapter 1184: Annexing Han Dong Blessed Land
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This blessed land was very unique.
The entire terrain was a shallow beach.
Jade green water that was less than three meters deep, large numbers of rocks piled on the beach, like ink on a casually drawn canvas, they resembled strokes and lines that weaved together.
There were many pools of green water, some formed lakes, some formed tiny seas, it was distributed like a pieces of a chessboard.
"This is quite similar to Dong Fang tribe's Jade Pool blessed land." Fang Yuan thought to himself.
But he was aware that this place was different from Jade Pool blessed land at its core.
Jade Pool blessed land was filled with many deep pools, there were tens of thousands of them, resembling the stars in the sky, forming a beautiful sight. And inside the jade pools, the water was different and bred countless aquatic species.
But the water here was connected to the same source. Because there were crevices between the rocks that formed the terrain of the beach.
Fang Yuan looked, there were large numbers of fish and prawns, all sorts of aquatic insects and mortal Gu. Under the beach, in the crevices, there were seashells, mussels, seaweed, and others.
But what was most abundant was a type of snake.
This snake was pinkish red in color, it was small and delicate, about the size of an adult's thumb, smaller ones were only a few centimeters.
This was a spirit snake.
Gu Immortal Han Dong specialized the most in this transformation.
This was Han Dong's blessed land.
Han Dong was one of the Traveling Three Elites, back then when Dong Fang Chang Fan possessed Dong Fang Yu Liang and tried to revive, he had used the immemorial ruin bat corpse to create a temporary base.
By the time Fang Yuan and the rest got there, Gu Immortal Han Dong from the Traveling Three Elites had already died here.
The Traveling Three Elites were Lu Qing Ming, Su Guang and Han Dong.
They were lone cultivators, rather famous ones.
When the three worked together, they could use an immortal killer move that gathered light, forming a chariot that could travel quickly.
In the Gu Immortal world, when some Gu Immortals develop close relationships, they would help each other and cultivate together. As time passes, when they become more familiar, if they were talented, they would comprehend and create new joint immortal killer moves.
The Traveling Three Elites were like this, the wind thunder roar of Chou Lao Wu and Hao Zhen was similar.
Among the three of them, Lu Qing Ming was a wind path Gu Immortal, his signature move was entangled wind, it was very powerful and maneuverable.
Su Guang was a light path Gu Immortal, while Han Dong cultivated transformation path!
He was a transformation path rank six Gu Immortal, this Han Dong blessed land was a rank six blessed land.
Fang Yuan floated in the sky, at this time, a pinkish red spirit snake slithered over towards Fang Yuan.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The spirit snake was translucent without scales, its flesh was pinkish, it did not have bones, just one red line held its body from head to tail together.
It hissed at Fang Yuan, showing animosity in its tone.
This was different from the other snakes.
Fang Yuan could understand it, as the hissing turned into words in his ears: "Who are you? Why did you invade my home? Quickly leave, you are not welcomed here!"
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "I came here because I want to be your master, what are the conditions for that?"
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The pinkish red spirit snake hissed unhappily.
Fang Yuan nodded, feeling overjoyed, he thought to himself: "So Han Dong's obsession before death has to do with Lu Qing Ming and Su Guang."
It turned out that Han Dong blessed land's condition was very simple yet strict.
The spirit snake in front of Fang Yuan was the blessed land's land spirit, created after Han Dong's death, fusing his obsession with heavenly power.
This land spirit would only acknowledge Lu Qing Ming or Su Guang.
When either of them arrived, this blessed land would belong to them.
From this point, the Traveling Three Elites truly had a close relationship. Han Dong's obsession before dying was to leave all of his assets to his two good friends.
"In that case, I will bring Lu Qing Ming here. We are good friends." Fang Yuan spouted nonsense.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Spirit snake asked: "Is that true? You can find Lu Qing Ming? That is wonderful."
"In fact, he is nearby. Because your main body died here, Lu Qing Ming and Su Guang have been thinking about it. But Tai Qiu is too dangerous, thus, they asked me for help, and we finally found you after so long." Fang Yuan started his chain of lies, he neither was flustered nor did his heart beat faster.
The spirit snake slithered around, moving its body, it was very excited.
Next, it made an agreement with Fang Yuan, in just a few minutes, Lu Qing Ming would arrive.
"Thank you, truly, you are a good person!" The spirit snake's attitude changed, it was very welcoming as it opened the entrance, sending Fang Yuan out.
"You must find Lu Qing Ming!" Seeing Fang Yuan off, the spirit snake closed the entrance longingly.
Fang Yuan flew in a circuit outside, storing away the upper extreme heavenly eagle and using familiar face to become Lu Qing Ming.
He came back and waited for a while, before the blessed land's entrance opened.
"Lord Lu Qing Ming… sob sob sob." The spirit snake was at the entrance, seeing 'Lu Qing Ming', it started to sob uncontrollably.
Fang Yuan consoled it as the spirit snake's mood lifted.
The spirit snake asked: "Lord Lu Qing Ming, where is your friend from earlier? He is a nice person, he actually brought you here."
"He is a kind and helpful person, he is very dependable. He has already left, he said that there is no point in staying here, he has already done his part." Fang Yuan continued with his fairy tales.
The pitiful land spirit could not see through familiar face, it thought he was speaking the truth, immediately acknowledging Lu Qing Ming as its master.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The spirit snake coiled around Fang Yuan's shoulder: "From now on, you are the owner of this blessed land."
Fang Yuan immediately changed his tone: "Wonderful, I've thought about it, I will give this blessed land to that friend of mine from earlier."
"Hiss?!"
The spirit snake was stunned.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "Since I am the owner of this place, I have the authority for that, right?"
"Hiss… hiss."
The pinkish red spirit snake lowered its head, it was upset but it still responded, acknowledging Fang Yuan's words.
Fang Yuan immediately left, in a moment, he got rid of familiar face and returned in his original appearance.
Very successfully, the spirit snake acknowledged him as master.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The spirit snake said: "From today onwards, you are the owner of this blessed land. Sigh, even though I am sad, this is Lord Lu Qing Ming's wish."
Next, there were even more saddening words coming out of Fang Yuan's mouth: "Since you acknowledge me as your master, work with me, assimilate this blessed land into my own blessed land."
"Hiss? Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss hiss!"
The spirit snake was completely stunned, before becoming frantic: "What? Why must we do that? If we do that, I will disappear!"
"Of course I know that. But by fusing into my blessed land, I can skip multiple calamities and tribulations, it is helpful to me." Fang Yuan continued.
The pinkish red spirit snake thought of something and cried out: "To annex my blessed land, you need to be at least a transformation path master."
"I primarily cultivate transformation path, I am a grandmaster!" Fang Yuan replied mockingly.
The spirit snake lost all its vigor, its head was lowered to the ground: "Fine, you are the owner of the blessed land, you can do whatever you want, I will cooperate."
Immortal apertures could annex one another.
There were many restrictions and requirements in this.
Firstly, a smaller immortal aperture could not engulf a bigger one.
Secondly, dead apertures could not devour others.
Finally, annexing immortal apertures required specific attainment levels. To annex a rank six blessed land, one needed to have master attainment level in that path. For rank seven blessed lands, one needed grandmaster attainment level. and for rank eight grotto-heavens, one needed great grandmaster attainment level!
Once these requirements were met, another person's immortal aperture could be devoured and become part of one's own immortal aperture!
There were many benefits in this.
Firstly, the resources inside the annexed immortal aperture would be completely transferred into the other immortal aperture without any need for relocation.
Secondly, one would gain a portion of its dao marks.
Thirdly, and the most crucial point, the skipping of calamities and tribulations!
For example, Hu Immortal, an enslavement path lone cultivator from Central Continent, had died during her fifth earthly calamity, from the blue charm lightning shadow. Even though the blue charm lightning shadow remained, the fifth earthly calamity of Hu Immortal blessed land was passed.
If a Gu Immortal annexed this blessed land, they would gain all of the resources inside Hu Immortal blessed land, at the same time, they would receive a portion of the blessed land's dao marks, and they would skip at least one calamity or tribulation, to a maximum of five. Furthermore, the countdown towards their next calamity or tribulation would be reset.
Southern Border, Jade Pot Mountain.
Ying Wu Xie's group arrived at the interior of the mountain.
"To think that Jade Pot Mountain has jade soil on the surface, producing beautiful jade that is renowned in Southern Border, but the interior is actually an icy land, it is truly another world here." Bai Ning Bing stood inside the icy cave, sighing in shock.
As they got deeper into Jade Pot Mountain, the temperature lowered, frost energy emanated, even though the Gu Immortals had defensive methods, they still felt a strong chill assaulting them.
Ying Wu Xie suddenly paused his steps, he seemed to have sensed something, he spoke while looking forward at the empty space: "We are here. This is a rank six immortal aperture left behind by a strength path Gu Immortal of Shadow Sect."
Next, Ying Wu Xie turned around and said to Hei Lou Lan: "Hei Lou Lan, this is for you. You have enough strength path attainment level, you can annex this immortal aperture. This way, your upcoming calamities and tribulations will be bypassed."
Hei Lou Lan's expression changed.
She had the Great Strength True Martial Physique, one of the ten extremes, her calamities and tribulations were immensely powerful.
Annexing an immortal aperture could resolve her problem, but it sacrificed her potential for growth in the future, only to obtain some short term benefits.
She hesitated, but eventually gritted her teeth, walking forward.
Ying Wu Xie internally nodded at this, he understood Hei Lou Lan's feelings, he spoke: "In a Gu Immortal's cultivation journey, pursuing potential and long term growth is not wise. If you cannot survive the upcoming tribulation, then there is no future to speak of. Don't worry, this blessed land contains strength path dao marks that are not fewer in number than your ten extreme physique tribulation. Shadow Sect's cultivation methods are not something you can imagine. But how much you can actually absorb is up to your own fortune. Because the annexing of others' immortal apertures will often result in a reduction of dao marks gained to some extent. It is far less than stuffing a Gu Immortal's corpse into your immortal aperture directly and allowing it to break down naturally."
Hei Lou Lan's body shook, the anticipation in her gaze became heavier.
Ying Wu Xie could not help but think of Fang Yuan, he added in his mind: "Of course, the sovereign immortal body is exempt from this."

"What is going on?" Fang Yuan was confused.
Under the cooperation of the blessed land's pinkish red spirit snake, he successfully annexed Han Dong blessed land, turning it into a portion of the sovereign immortal aperture.
Thus, a shallow rock beach appeared in Mini Northern Plains, within the sovereign immortal aperture.
In the shallow beach, there was clear jade green water, with all sorts of fish and prawns in it, they could be seen swimming in the clear water. Between the crevices of the rocks, algae and seaweed flowed with the waves, there were even seashells and conchs.
There was a great number of pinkish red spirit snakes, some were moving alone, exploring the crevices. Some formed into groups, swimming in the green water, resembling a ball of red threads as they moved together. Some spirit snake groups moved in hundreds, it was a grand sight.
What was worth mentioning was that there was a desolate beast pinkish red spirit snake.
It was resting in a crevice between some rocks, it seemed to be in deep sleep.
Even when the entire blessed land was engulfed, it did not wake up.
Fang Yuan moved the whole of Han Dong blessed land over, the assimilation was simply perfect.
Normally, if Fang Yuan took out these resources and planted them into his sovereign immortal aperture personally, he would need to dig rivers and create their habitat.
In that case, because of the change in environment and difference in dao marks, much of these resources would wither and die. Like what happened when Fang Yuan took away Hei Fan grotto-heaven's resources, he had to constantly sell the resources in the outside world.
Because these resources could not grow in the sovereign immortal aperture.
It was not worth the effort in trying.
But now, Fang Yuan directly annexed the immortal aperture, he saved a lot of trouble.
The resources in Han Dong blessed land, be it the fish, prawns, or plants, did not need to adapt to a new environment. Because Fang Yuan moved the entire environment over directly!
This way, Fang Yuan had completely, with one hundred percent efficiency, taken over all of Han Dong's accumulation of resources over his life, and instantly absorbed them.
"Han Dong blessed land only produces one valuable thing, that is the spirit snakes. He can already nurture desolate beast level spirit snakes, even though this blessed land is low grade, to reach this extent of development is already outstanding."
Thus, Fang Yuan could inherit Han Dong's business and sell the spirit snakes.
Spirit snakes were a type of mutated beast, but they had a high ceiling of growth, they could reach a peak of ancient desolate beast level.
Fang Yuan assessed it, this rock beach was the foundation for raising spirit snakes. The profits it generated for him slightly exceeded the star fragment grass fields that were in Mini Blue Heaven.
Fang Yuan put these resources aside for now.
There were other, stranger matters.
Firstly, Han Dong blessed land's land spirit, that pinkish red spirit snake, was still around in the rock beach.
It did not die!
"Hiss hiss hiss?!" The pinkish red spirit snake twisted its delicate body, shaking its head, even the land spirit itself was confused.
The blessed land was annexed, the land spirit would die, this was common knowledge in the Gu Immortal world. But when it came to the sovereign immortal aperture, logic was meant to be defied.
Fang Yuan did not expect this at all, he was mentally prepared to sacrifice the blessed land's land spirit.
But to think that this happened.
Fang Yuan's will descended to the rock beach, forming into a human shape.
THe pinkish red spirit snake slithered over, happily hissing at Fang Yuan: "Hiss— hiss hiss hiss!"
"Master, master! What is going on, I actually did not die. I am still alive, master, master, you are amazing!"
Fang Yuan's will laughed: "Of course, this is my secret art, solely created by me, it is unique in this entire Gu Immortal world. You think I wanted to harm you? But you are truly loyal, you were willing to sacrifice yourself, and give everything to me."
The pinkish red spirit snake's eyes were shining, it had deep admiration towards Fang Yuan: "Hiss hiss hiss!"
"Wow, my master is so amazing, master's talent is higher than heaven! I am truly so blessed to have a master like you."
Fang Yuan's will nodded in agreement: "Alright, even though I have created a secret art to annex immortal apertures of others, this is the first time I used it. How much control do you have over this rock beach?"
The spirit snake answered: "Same as before, master, master, you are so amazing!"
"Oh?" Fang Yuan's will pondered, before saying: "Then, little spirit snake, can you control any other areas?"
The spirit snake tried and shook its head: "No master, I cannot."
"It can only control its original territory huh…" Fang Yuan's will thought and said: "Then, can you try and leave this rock beach?"
The spirit snake was very obedient, it immediately tried.
Unfortunately, as Fang Yuan had predicted, it could not leave the rock beach at all.
"Thus, the little spirit snake can only manage this rock beach in the future…" Fang Yuan felt a slight pity.
He lacked a capable individual to manage the sovereign immortal aperture for him. Earlier, he had hoped that there would be someone like Little Hu Immortal to manage the place for him.
After all, the sovereign immortal aperture was just too big, Fang Yuan's divine sense needed time to just look over it completely, it was a hassle to manage. It used up a lot of his time and energy over typical days.
The appearance of the pinkish red spirit snake was a somewhat unexpected and joyful surprise.
Fang Yuan had wanted to let it manage the sovereign immortal aperture for him, but now it seemed, forget about the sovereign immortal aperture, it could not even manage the whole of Mini Northern Plains.
Because it could only move around in its original territory.
"Forget it. This rock beach can be taken care of by the pinkish red spirit snake, it can sense any issues immediately if they occur. Why must I be unsatisfied?"
Fang Yuan quickly got over it and continued thinking calmly.
The pinkish red spirit snake was not destroyed, it still existed, this was just one aspect that shocked Fang Yuan.
The other aspect was in dao marks.
"I annexed Han Dong blessed land, but I actually absorbed all of the dao marks of the blessed land, what is going on?" Fang Yuan was puzzled.
According to the logic of the Gu Immortal world, when Gu Immortals annex immortal apertures, the dao marks they gain would be greatly reduced from the total amount.
But Fang Yuan obtained everything!
Before annexing the blessed land, Fang Yuan had used perceivable dao Immortal Gu to inspect the number of dao marks in Han Dong blessed land. Its transformation path dao marks were the highest in number, about seven thousand, followed by water and earth path dao marks, about a thousand each. Time path, space path, fire path, and other dao marks were mixed in and varied in numbers, some were less than a hundred, some were a few hundred.
These dao marks were all absorbed by Fang Yuan. As Han Dong blessed land completely fused with him, it became a part of the sovereign immortal aperture.
Results by testing with perceivable dao Immortal Gu proved this point.
"I kind of understand why." Fang Yuan thought for a while, realizing something.
What caused this situation was very likely to be the trait of non-conflicting dao marks that the sovereign immortal body had!
Ordinary Gu Immortals, even those of the ten extreme physiques, when annexing immortal apertures, would face conflicts between different dao marks. The Gu Immortal's dao marks were like the owners of the house. And the annexed dao marks were like guests.
If guests want to enter the house and refuse to leave, even attempting to become the new owners of the house, the original owners would chase them away.
Eventually, the original owners will take in a batch of guests that they like, and these guests would suit the nature of the owners, they would be of the same path. As for the other paths' dao marks, they would be chased out, few of them could enter the house and become new owners.
But Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body was different.
This house was open and invited any guest to stay. Because dao marks did not conflict, the original owner could allow any newcomer to stay without any issues!
"It is all encompassing. Not only are dao marks non-conflicting, even land spirits can be taken in, it is like the huge world outside, there is nothing it cannot contain." Fang Yuan suddenly felt a trace of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's incredible fortitude and resolution.
The sovereign immortal body was formed from sovereign immortal fetus Gu, it was deduced by Spectral Soul singlehandedly, expending a great amount of time, effort, and resources, eventually refined through great danger.
This Immortal Gu was the embodiment of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's beliefs and mindset.
Fang Yuan could not help but praise internally: "Spectral Soul Demon Venerable reached the apex through killing, he created soul path and was invincible in the world. But after he died, his soul went to the door of life and death, he went a step further and broke the limits he faced during his lifetime, reaching a state of being akin to that of a sea which all rivers flow into, becoming an all-encompassing being, he was truly incredible!"
Non-conflicting dao marks made Fang Yuan's body very fragile, but the advantages greatly outweighed the disadvantages.
Fang Yuan could use strong defensive methods to negate this weakness. But the great benefits it brought could not be replicated through other means!
After annexing Han Dong blessed land, Fang Yuan's final gain was also his main objective — skipping calamities and tribulations.
He succeeded.
Originally, his sixth earthly calamity was impending.
But after annexing Han Dong blessed land, not only was the sixth earthly calamity skipped, the countdown until the next calamity, and he even jumped forward by four calamities.
"I have already passed five earthly calamities, with the sixth coming soon. Now that I skipped four, I have already passed the ninth earthly calamity, and my first heavenly tribulation would be next!"
Gu Immortals pass tribulations time and time again, it is like they were obtaining the acknowledgement of heaven and earth.
The achievements of predecessors would be enjoyed by the person who annexed their immortal aperture.
Even though Fang Yuan was not very clear on the reasoning behind this, it was proven countless times in history by many Gu Immortals: Annexing other people's blessed lands would allow one to skip their tribulations.
This was also a way to undergo tribulations, but in actuality, there were huge restrictions and tough conditions to meet.
And the disadvantages were not small.
"Sigh, after annexing this strength path immortal aperture, even though I gained a lot, I lost a lot of future potential in exchange for the current gains." Inside Southern Border's Jade Pot Mountain, Hei Lou Lan had also annexed an immortal aperture.
But her expression was very gloomy.

Chapter 1186: Ice Soul Immortal Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Even though Hei Lou Lan obtained a lot of resources, and her greatest weakness was alleviated, her gains in dao mark were very little.
Making an estimation, it was less than thirty percent of the immortal aperture's dao marks.
She skipped more than ten calamities and tribulations directly.
This was an immeasurable loss to Hei Lou Lan!
Because of her having one of the ten extreme physiques, every time she underwent tribulation, it would be extremely strong. Fortune and disaster came together, whenever she succeeded in passing the tribulation, the dao marks that she gained would be much greater in number.
More than ten calamities and tribulations, it was not just earthly calamities, but a heavenly tribulation as well!
Considering this, her losses were huge.
Even though undergoing tribulation was a dangerous thing, for a bold and fierce character like Hei Lou Lan, she was not afraid of difficulties, she was only afraid of being ordinary.
"Even if I am unwilling, what can I do? I am stuck deep in the abyss, it is not up to me…" Hei Lou Lan sighed internally.
Ying Wu Xie observed her appearance, seeing Hei Lou Lan's gloomy expression, he smiled internally as he said: "Alright, let's continue traveling."
The group passed the icy tunnel, getting even deeper into the mountain.
Eventually, they arrived in front of a wall of ice.
Through the white wall of ice, the immortals could see countless hearts inside.
These hearts were blue, there were about at least a thousand of them.
Bai Ning Bing did not know of them.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng screamed: "Oh heavens, these are ice hearts, they are all ice hearts."
Hei Lou Lan's expression also changed: "Not just ice hearts, there are twin ice hearts, the latter is a rank seven immortal material, and in such quantity."
Even the normally quiet Shi Nu gasped: "Unimaginable, Jade Pot Mountain actually has such an abundance of wealth. If Southern Border's Gu Immortals knew about this, a storm would be whipped up, in order to fight for these ice hearts, they would fight until rivers of blood flowed!"
Jade Pot Mountain was not uninhabited, there was a village on the mountain, with the surname Yu.
Jade Pot Mountain produced jade stones and jade Gu, Yu clan village relied on these resources for survival.
Among mortal forces, Yu clan village, which had many rank five Gu Masters, was very powerful. But to Gu Immortals, they were not worth mentioning.
Who could have thought that Jade Pot Mountain, controlled by a mortal force, could have such a quantity of rare immortal materials stacked together!
Ying Wu Xie sighed deeply: "Jade Pot Mountain is nothing special on the surface, it is easy to ignore. Even my Shadow Sect also found this place due to a fortuitous encounter. But the ice hearts formed naturally here are not so high in quantity. My Shadow Sect's Gu Immortals had secretly set up a Gu formation to turn this place into a Gu breeding ground."
"In the past, this place had nurtured ice heart Gu, but they had been taken away. There is still one ice heart Immortal Gu here, it was not ready earlier, but now it has completely formed. Bai Ning Bing, come here and retrieve this wild Immortal Gu using the method I taught you."
"Alright!" Bai Ning Bing said without hesitation.
She took large steps ahead.
Next, using Ying Wu Xie's instructions, she stretched out both hands and placed them on the wall of ice, which was covered in frost energy.
Without using any defensive methods, Bai Ning Bing's hands were completely frozen, frost energy assaulted her as a thick layer of frost formed on her arms.
Hei Lou Lan saw this and raised her eyebrows.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to speak, he had an expression of pity.
Ying Wu Xie smiled lightly, Shi Nu was expressionless, not saying a word.
Bai Ning Bing endured the intense pain as frost energy traveled through her body from her arms, soon, she felt her body turning stiff, even her mind was becoming frozen.
The intense threat of death assaulted her in both body and mind.
But she was unmoved.
Inside her clear blue eyes, a firm, determined gaze could be seen, she was even more stubborn and cold than this ice wall.
"Endure it!"
"Even if I die, it is nothing much."
"Hmph, dying from frost like this, it is interesting too isn't it…"
"Furthermore! Shadow Sect suffered a huge blow, they need manpower. Ying Wu Xie tried so hard to recruit me, how could he let me die like this?"
As expected, a change occurred in front of Bai Ning Bing.
Inside the wall of ice, the blue ice hearts were shaking together, the vibrations were small initially, but got more intense with time.
More than ten breaths of time later, the wall of ice made a loud sound, cracks were forming before the immortals' eyes. Soon, they were covering the wall of ice like a spider web, one of the cracks went deep into the interior of the wall.
The aura of Immortal Gu leaked out.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng almost wanted to help out.
This was a wild Immortal Gu, it was very hard to catch, if they did not take action now, it would be too late!
But Ying Wu Xie was unmoved, he watched silently.
Since he kept motionless, Hei Lou Lan and Shi Nu also did not act.
Bai Ning Bing could not move.
She was completely frozen, frost energy had permeated her entire body, she was close to death.
But this person who was dying greatly attracted that wild Immortal Gu which had broken out of the ice.
This wild Immortal Gu flew over slowly, entering Bai Ning Bing's hold.
In the immortals' vision, this Immortal Gu was about the size of a baby's fist, resembling a spider with a white body and eight claws, as well as a back with blue flowery markings that showed the appearance of a vengeful ghost screaming.
Rank six ice soul Immortal Gu!
Bai Ning Bing focused her mind, opening her phantom aperture's entrance.
Ice soul Immortal Gu directly flew in.
When the phantom aperture's entrance closed, Ying Wu Xie immediately acted, healing Bai Ning Bing's injuries, dragging her back from the edge of death.
"Good, ice soul Immortal Gu is already in your aperture, it has nowhere to escape, refining it will be extremely easy." Ying Wu Xie clapped and smiled.
Hei Lou Lan's gaze shined, she suddenly spoke: "I understand, this ice soul Immortal Gu has a close connection to Bai Ning Bing. Because Bai Ning Bing has the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique!"
"Indeed, the aura of the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique has an intense attraction to ice soul Immortal Gu. Thus, I asked Bai Ning Bing to capture it without using any defensive methods. It was to completely release the aura of the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique without any concealment!" Ying Wu Xie nodded, explaining.
"But if Bai Ning Bing's vitality was too high, the wild ice soul Immortal Gu would hesitate. Thus, only when Bai Ning Bing was on the verge of death, would ice soul Immortal Gu feel that she was no threat and go towards her automatically."
"So that's it." Tai Bai Yun Sheng realized.
"Lord Fang Yuan is so wise!" The loyal Shi Nu also said.
"Hahaha." Ying Wu Xie raised his head and laughed: "My Shadow Sect is huge and has many resources, being with me will give you all great benefits. Like this wall of ice, my Shadow Sect had spent a thousand years mimicking a natural environment, creating this Gu refinement ground."
"The cultivation methods that my Shadow Sect has are unimaginable to all of you. If you aptitude is low, we will raise it. If you have few dao marks, we will increase them. Everything is possible."
Hei Lou Lan's heart shook.
Ying Wu Xie's final words were clearly directed at her.
"This fellow, he has learned how to be a true leader, he is really improving rapidly." Before Hei Lou Lan could continue thinking, Ying Wu Xie waved his hand: "We're leaving! Next, we will take over Bai Xiang grotto-heaven!"
Northern Plains.
"I skipped too few calamities and tribulations." Fang Yuan sighed, he was not happy about this.
At almost the same time as Hei Lou Lan, who was unhappy over her major losses, wanting to skip as few calamities and tribulations as possible.
Fang Yuan sighed, the number of calamities and tribulations skipped did not match his expectations.
If possible, he wanted to be a rank seven Gu Immortal at the very next moment!
The endless number of battles in Hei Fan grotto-heaven made Fang Yuan realize his biggest flaw. His cultivation level was too low, his green grape immortal essence was not efficient.
As Fang Yuan's identity got more complex, the dangers he faced also became greater.
In the past, Fang Yuan could control the future well, because he was alone. Now that he had many alliance agreements, he could not help himself.
And with the trip to Eastern Sea, he did not manage to exterminate Shadow Sect, the growth of Ying Wu Xie and the rest made Fang Yuan feel immense pressure.
Thus, he would rather sacrifice his future potential and raise his battle strength rapidly.
"Without the present, how can there be a future?"
"Potential is good, but to have room for development, one needs to spend time."
"The true attitude for cultivation is to be practical, everything is for the sake of our present reality."
Fang Yuan's losses were even more severe than Hei Lou Lan's, but he did not feel any pity or loss, he had a resolute and determined gaze.
"But, Han Dong had already gone through two heavenly tribulations and more than twenty earthly calamities. I annexed his immortal aperture, but I only progressed by four earthly calamities."
"Is this because the sovereign immortal aperture is too big, the effect of skipping calamities and tribulations from annexing immortal apertures is not very evident?"
Fang Yuan thought about it from all angles, he felt that the sovereign immortal aperture was the cause.
Rank six Gu Immortals face an earthly calamity every ten years, and a heavenly tribulation every one hundred years. After three hundred years, after three heavenly tribulations, they would become rank seven.
During this process, if it was split into three, Fang Yuan was nearly one-third done.
"This is not fast enough, I need to hit rank seven as soon as possible, it would give me a huge boost in battle strength in terms of sustainability! Financially, I will also grow rapidly."
"If only Han Dong blessed land is not enough, I will have to annex more immortal apertures."
"Even though the gains in dao marks cannot compare to undergoing tribulation myself, I can save a lot of time, I can deal with challenges and dangers from all aspects more easily now."
"Furthermore, when annexing blessed lands, I get all of their dao marks without any losses. Even though it is still a loss, I just need to kill some Gu Immortals to make up for it!"
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan had a ruthless light flashing in his eyes.
After uncovering another advantage of the sovereign immortal aperture, Fang Yuan discovered a new way to cultivate.
His original method was to go with the natural flow, undergoing tribulations and obtaining a great number of dao marks and true meaning. But this method was too slow, his battle strength rose slowly, what grew the most was his immortal aperture's foundation. It was not suited for Fang Yuan, it would only make his situation more dangerous.
Currently, Fang Yuan was going to use the method of annexing immortal apertures and skipping calamities and tribulations, to rapidly raise his cultivation level. When his cultivation level rises, his battle strength would also rise. Fang Yuan would use his new battle strength to kill more enemies and annex their apertures, to avoid undergoing tribulation himself, it could also allow his immortal aperture's foundation to grow, and he would gain dao marks as well.
This method allowed Fang Yuan's battle strength to grow at the fastest speed, but his immortal aperture's foundation would increase more slowly. But it was suited for Fang Yuan's situation, it allowed him to have a better chance at survival!
Both cultivation methods could create a cycle of benefits for him, they just had their own advantages and strengths.

Chapter 1187: Fang Yuan's Cultivation Opportunity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Immortal killer move — Days Pass Like Years!
Countless Gu worms flew in the sky, expending green grape immortal essence as a grand light filled the entire sovereign immortal aperture.
Splash splash splash.
The tributary of the River of Time in the sovereign immortal aperture showed its true form, it could be seen with the naked eye.
Under the power of days pass like years, this tributary of the River of Time shrank, the river surface became thinner.
"Huff—!"
Letting out a breath, Fang Yuan finally relaxed.
"I succeeded, the immortal aperture's rate of time has greatly slowed down. The interval between my calamities and tribulations have lengthened drastically." After confirming that the killer move succeeded, Fang Yuan retracted all of his concentration.
Right now, he was inside his cloud city in Lang Ya blessed land.
After annexing Han Dong blessed land, Fang Yuan immediately returned.
Tai Qiu was too dangerous, while Fang Yuan's Dark Limit had a time-limited effect, heaven's will was plotting to kill Fang Yuan at all times.
Now that his immortal aperture time was slowed down, the following calamities and tribulations were far away.
Fang Yuan felt relaxed all of a sudden, his pressure diminished.
He had undergone careful consideration before making this decision. Since he changed his cultivation method, he did not need to undergo tribulations so frequently. Annexing blessed lands could allow him to skip calamities and tribulations, this effect had nothing to do with the rate of time in his own blessed land.
The most important thing now were blessed lands.
Where could he find more blessed lands?
Fang Yuan first thought of Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land in Central Continent.
But soon, he disregarded this unrealistic idea.
It was impossible!
Central Continent was a dangerous territory, the ten ancient sects along with Heavenly Court, which had deeper foundation than Longevity Heaven, would want nothing more than to kill Fang Yuan.
Like how Ying Wu Xie and the rest fled from Central Continent, for Fang Yuan, it was also a death zone.
Some time ago, Star Form blessed land faced its calamities and tribulations, the land spirit wrote to Fang Yuan, sobbing while asking for help, Fang Yuan ignored it, only sending some mortal Gu and immortal essence to the land spirit, asking it to save itself.
Star Form blessed land was in such straits, the exposed Hu Immortal blessed land was even more out of the question.
Fang Yuan thought of Luo Po Valley.
Or more accurately, the location that Luo Po Valley was previously at.
There was an intense battle at Luo Po Valley, with Feng Jiu Ge leading the Central Continent Gu Immortals to fight against Shadow Sect's Northern Plains branch with Qin Bai Sheng as the leader, they went through an intense battle, with victory going to the Central Continent Gu Immortals in the end.
At Luo Po Valley's original location, there were many Gu Immortals' blessed lands.
"These blessed lands are in Northern Plains, can I go over and take them?"
This was an alluring idea, but Fang Yuan hesitated for a while, and soon after, he gave up on this option as well.
Because this choice carried great risks.
Even though this battle was hidden and the Gu Immortals of Northern Plains did not know about it, Central Continent's ten great ancient sects and Heavenly Court knew about it, as well as Shadow Sect themselves.
After Gu Immortals die, blessed lands or grotto-heavens would be formed outside.
These blessed lands or grotto-heavens contain the resources accumulated by the Gu Immortals over their lifetimes, no matter how affluent a force was, they would try all ways to reclaim these resources.
"Since Central Continent could send people to Northern Plains for investigation of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's collapse, then they can naturally send others to reclaim those blessed lands."
"And Shadow Sect too, would want to take these blessed lands back."
"I did not go there earlier, there is no way I am going there now."
Fang Yuan's decision was very wise.
Because right now, the person secretly helping Central Continent to reclaim these immortal apertures was the rank eight Gu Immortal Prince Feng Xian!
If Fang Yuan was blindly hopeful and went there on his own, Prince Feng Xian would probably laugh even in his sleep, seeing how Fang Yuan went to him on his own without any effort exerted.
Fang Yuan thought of Eastern Sea next.
Eastern Sea's turbulent flow sea area, at its center, there were islands in bubbles.
One of the islands contained the secluded domain of heaven and earth, City Well, and inside City Well, there were lots of Gu Immortals' blessed lands.
These Gu Immortals were all slammed to death by Fang Yuan using the effect of City Well to amplify giant hand's power. He even went inside these blessed lands at the moment they were placed down, and went inside to scavenge for resources.
The most alluring one was Ding Qi blessed land.
Ding Qi was a blood path rank seven Gu Immortal, he self-detonated before dying, not leaving any resources, Immortal Gu, or soul for Fang Yuan, but his immortal aperture remained.
Even though Fang Yuan could annex his immortal aperture, he did not do so on the spot.
Firstly, Ding Qi blessed land's land spirit had a difficult requirement for ownership, it needed Fang Yuan to complete the blood path Immortal Gu recipe of 'Blood Revenge'. If Fang Yuan still had the light of wisdom, he could rapidly complete this. But now, wisdom Gu could not be used, and blood revenge Immortal Gu was less than ten percent complete, if Fang Yuan wanted to complete this Immortal Gu recipe, even with his blood path grandmaster attainment level, he would need to spend a lot of time and effort on it, the cost was not worth the gain.
And secondly, Fang Yuan's previous cultivation method placed emphasis on potential. He went through tribulations one by one, if he annexed Ding Qi blessed land, it would go against his plan.
But now was different.
Firstly, Fang Yuan did not achieve his goal in this Eastern Sea trip, even though he weakened Ying Wu Xie and gang, he did not kill them once and for all. Fang Yuan had a deep understanding of Ying Wu Xie, their development speed surpassed his, the next time they met, he would be on the defensive.
There was also the variant human alliance, Hei Fan grotto-heaven's contest, joining Chu Sect, and the Crazed Demon Agreement that was coming soon, his status was getting more complex. Fang Yuan felt trapped inside a vortex, in lots of situations, he could not do what he wanted, the alliance agreements were restricting his freedom.
Times were different now, as the situation continued to change, Fang Yuan realized he too needed to change.
His cultivation experiences in the five hundred years of his previous life gave him keen instinct towards how he should continue his future developments, as well as impending threats.
He had a strong feeling that if he did not make a change, the future was going to be very bleak!
Realizing the sovereign immortal aperture's special trait in annexing blessed lands was just such an opportunity.
"I am a blood path grandmaster, annexing a rank seven blessed land is not a problem in terms of attainment level. But a smaller immortal aperture cannot devour a bigger one, what does the bigger here mean?"
If it referred to cultivation level, Fang Yuan's rank six immortal aperture could not annex the rank seven Ding Qi blessed land.
But if it referred to the immortal aperture's foundation, then the sovereign immortal aperture could definitely devour the rank seven Ding Qi blessed land easily!
Fang Yuan needed an answer to this question.
It was not hard to get, he just needed to try.
"But other than that, there is another problem, the land spirit's acknowledgment."
"The acknowledgement of Ding Qi land spirit is quite difficult to get, I can't satisfy it currently. But if I attempt to use force, the land spirit would be destroyed, and the blessed land would be destroyed as well, creating the winds of assimilation."
"When these winds of assimilation blow in City Well, will it implicate the other immortal apertures? Will it destroy City Well directly?"
Fang Yuan had thought about this problem back in Eastern Sea.
Thus, he did not forcefully attempt to get those blessed lands.
To destroy the land spirit while keeping the blessed land intact, it would need to absorb a fragment of the immemorial nine heavens.
But only grotto-heavens could absorb fragments of the immemorial nine heavens.
Like Hei Fan grotto-heaven, even though Fang Yuan destroyed the heavenly spirit, it still existed. It was because this grotto-heaven world had absorbed a fragment of the immemorial nine heavens.
But that was not the case for land spirits.
And the turbulent flow sea area was far away in Eastern Sea, taking a journey there and back would use a lot of Fang Yuan's time. Heaven's will might even be plotting to prevent Fang Yuan from obtaining City Well.
Fang Yuan thought about it carefully, he found another problem limiting his annexing of immortal apertures.
It was attainment level.
Fang Yuan was not Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, the latter had high attainment levels in every path, he could easily absorb blessed lands into the sovereign immortal aperture.
But Fang Yuan could not.
"Or rather, Shadow Sect refined sovereign immortal fetus Gu in order to devour immortal apertures?"
Fang Yuan realized that if he did not take sovereign immortal fetus Gu, and allowed Spectral Soul to revive.
Then his development would be at an incredibly shocking speed!
He had the most bloodthirsty nature among the venerables, he had many killer moves, after killing Gu Immortals, he could either take their main path's dao marks and give up on the immortal aperture to raise his dao mark foundation, or annex the immortal aperture and skip calamities and tribulations, resetting the counting of his impending tribulation.
The two methods could be used in conjunction in the most efficient way.
"No wonder Spectral Soul managed to succeed in my previous life!"
"No wonder heaven's will tried all means possible to send me to the past and stop him."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's gaze subconsciously moved towards the south.
Towards the direction of Southern Border.
Fang Yuan knew that the giant dream realm was there, a trace of Spectral Soul's remnant soul was there, it was the target that Ying Wu Xie and the rest were desperately trying to save.
"Attainment level… dream realm… Southern Border!" Fang Yuan's body shook, he suddenly thought of something.
The thoughts in his mind became extremely clear at this moment.
"The cultivation opportunity I need is in Southern Border. It is there…"
Snowy Mountain, first peak.
The refinement path Gu formation was still activated.
Lady Wan Shou was energetic, appearing in front of Ma Hong Yun again.
Ma Hong Yun saw her and his hair stood on end, he screamed: "You are here to shock me again, you want to shock me again!"
"Good that you know." Lady Wan Shou smiled, pushing the lightning ball in her hand towards him.
"Ahhhh!" Ma Hong Yun was twitching from the pain, his eyes rolled back but he did not foam saliva from his mouth.
At the same time, his voice was very clear, if one listened closely, it was rhythmic.
All in all, he lasted for a while before fainting.
"His cultivation level rose again? Also, he lasted thirty percent longer this time against the lightning refinement." Lady Wan Shou frowned as she observed.
From the eyes, nose, and ears, blood was flowing out.
This was the backlash of Gu refinement.
But Lady Wan Shou had experienced it many times, she was used to this backlash. Her healing process was also very rapid and efficient.
"It is a bit troublesome. The more times Ma Hong Yun undergoes lightning refinement, the stronger his resistance, and the more likely this crucial step is to fail. What should I do? Change the refinement method? No! If I change the method now, I will need to change the entire Immortal Gu recipe. Half of the materials we found earlier would be unusable. Snowy Mountain cannot bear such a cost anymore."
Lady Wan Shou sighed to herself, feeling extremely worried.

Chapter 1188: Crazed Demon Agreement
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Some days later.
Northern Plains, Crazed Demon Cave.
"Liu Guan Yi, we have been waiting for you!" Not Immortal came to the first layer, welcoming Fang Yuan and Chu Du.
The three conversed as they got deeper into the cave.
Fang Yuan discovered that the route this time was slightly different from the previous time he came here.
"Are the demonic sounds recently very frequent?" Fang Yuan asked.
"They are getting more frequent now. Thus, our travel route also has to be modified. Once the demonic sounds start, dao marks will go into chaos. Not only will the desolate beasts go crazy, the terrain will also change." Not Immortal explained.
A moment later, they saw Pang Shan.
Pang Shan woke up from his slumber, his eyes opened slightly: "You are here again, Brother Chu."
He seemed to have a good relationship with Chu Du.
Next, he looked at Fang Yuan: "Brother Liu, I know about your capabilities, let's talk in depth after the Crazed Demon Agreement."
Fang Yuan asked: "How will we establish the Crazed Demon Agreement?"
"We will need to go down to the third last layer, I can't move easily, I will not go with you." Pang Shan said vaguely, his explanation was as good as nothing.
"Follow me." Not Immortal continued to lead the way.
The three immortals continued to go down, the deeper they went, the more turns they had to make, sometimes, the straight distance seemed to be short, but they had to make a long detour.
"Believe me, detours are much faster than walking straight in this place." Not Immortal smiled.
Chu Du nodded, pointing out to Fang Yuan: "When we get there, don't be too surprised."
Fang Yuan felt some curiosity and anticipation.
A while later, through a cavern entrance, Fang Yuan officially stepped into the third last layer of Crazed Demon Cave.
His vision was covered by bright glorious lights.
All sorts of colors were emanated from the rocks, soil, and grass in this place.
Fang Yuan sucked in a deep breath: "This, these are all lights of dao marks! Only quasi-rank nine immortal materials can radiate such lights. The dao marks here are so dense that every piece of soil and rock is a quasi-rank nine immortal material?!"
Not Immortal laughed: "Brother Liu makes sense, but these immortal materials have chaotic dao marks, they cannot be used."
Chu Du saw Fang Yuan's shock and smiled: "Back then, when I first came here, I suffered the same shock."
Not Immortal ended his laughter: "The dao marks here are extremely dense, it is not as simple as just emitting the lights of dao marks! There is almost a state of a battlefield killer move in here, moving here is extremely difficult, Brother Liu, why don't you try?"
Fang Yuan quickly shook his head: "Not Immortal, since you say this, I will believe you. No need to try."
Not Immortal looked at Chu Du, smiling: "Brother Liu is smarter than a certain person. Back then, he refused to believe it, he wanted to charge in, I could not change his mind and in the end, he suffered a lot."
Chu Du rubbed his nose, admitting to Fang Yuan: "Not Immortal is talking about me, I spent three years to recover from that injury. Don't look down at the dao marks here. This place is extremely dangerous, each step you take is precarious! I'll teach you a secret, try to get close to the dao marks of your own path, that can make your traveling easier, and face the least obstruction."
Not Immortal nodded: "That is true, I am a rule path Gu Immortal, I have to try walking on places with more rule path dao marks."
"And I cultivate strength path, I need to get close to the strength path dao marks, thus, in the following journey, we cannot help you, you have to walk on your own, Brother Liu." Chu Du said with concern.
Fang Yuan nodded.
Not Immortal stepped forward first: "I will go first, Brother Liu, watch carefully."
Fang Yuan concentrated as he looked.
Not Immortal's every step was very vigilant, the first ten steps were very easy, he could move calmly, but after ten steps, it became difficult. After twenty steps, his movements were stiff, it was like a formless force was weighing on him. After thirty steps, Not Immortal was perspiring profusely, at the forty-second step, he stopped for the first time, breathing roughly as he turned to ask Fang Yuan: "Brother Liu, did you manage to watch that?"
Chu Du laughed: "Not Immortal! Stop acting, you are clearly unable to continue, you still tried to ask Brother Liu a question to conceal the fact that you stopped."
Not Immortal was exposed, he was embarrassed and snapped: "Oh Chu Du, I want to see how many steps you can take? Can you go as far as me!"
Chu Du snorted: "Would I be afraid of you, watch closely!"
Before he finished his words, he took large steps forward on the dao marks in the area.
Initially, his speed was faster than Not Immortal, he moved like a dragon or tiger, Not Immortal's expression was dark.
But soon, Chu Du took a wrong step and the light of dao marks below him burst out, Chu Du grunted, his body shook as he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
He was heavily injured, his momentum was lost but he did not stop, Chu Du endured his injuries as he continued to walk step by step, as slow as a snail.
Eventually, he took thirty-eight and thirty-nine steps, by the fortieth step, he could no longer continue.
His final burst of strength was used up.
He stopped.
"I could not compare to you after all." Chu Du wiped the blood from his mouth, sighing.
Not Immortal was very shocked, he stared at Chu Du with wide eyes: "Domination Immortal, you actually improved so much since last time! I am ashamed, I have stayed in Crazed Demon Cave for so long, I have walked along this place hundreds of times more than you, I have such a huge advantage but I only managed to take forty-two steps."
Chu Du laughed: "Alright, don't flatter me. I know you did not use your full strength, you are trying to salvage my face?"
Not Immortal did not deny it, he chuckled: "Even so, your improvement is beyond my imagination. You are truly a genius at strength path cultivation, Domination Immortal… indeed, as the saying goes, titles are never wrong."
Chu Du laughed heartily, waving his hand: "Alright, let's stop the flattery, next, we will see Brother Liu's performance."
The two immortals turned around and watched Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded: "Don't laugh at me when I embarrass myself."
"Brother Liu, relax, this is your first time here, you should focus on the feeling of walking here, don't be obsessed over the number of steps." Not Immortal said.
Chu Du laughed instead: "Haha, don't worry brother Liu, I will remember your pathetic state later. I walked twenty-two steps when I first came here, if you cannot beat me, I will laugh at you forever. Haha!"
Fang Yuan laughed too, it was a harmonious scene.
But in truth, he understood internally: "These two are purposely probing me."
"Even though Chu Du recommended me, they are not confident in my ability to explore this place, thus they created this situation."
"They are working together, purposely asking me to walk alone, they want to probe my foundation."
"If I perform too poorly, and am of no help to them, they might not even set the Crazed Demon Agreement with me!"
Involving Limitless Demon Venerable and the secret of eternal life, Fang Yuan made up his mind to put up a good show, to display his strength for Not Immortal and Chu Du.
Fang Yuan's eyes shined with a mysterious light, he breathed in deeply and firmly stood on the ground as he took a step forward.
He chose the route with the most transformation path dao marks.
But at the next moment, Fang Yuan's expression changed.
"Haha." Chu Du observed his expression and laughed at the same time as Fang Yuan's changing expression: "Brother Liu, watching alone is useless, can you feel the pressure already?"
Fang Yuan felt extremely mystified on the inside, but he showed no flaws on his expression.
He did not answer Chu Du, he kept quiet and continued walking forward.
One step, two steps, three steps… like this, Fang Yuan took more than ten steps forward.
Fang Yuan's weird feeling intensified: "What is going on? Why do I feel no obstruction? I have already taken more than ten steps, it feels like I am walking on normal ground."
This was not normal.
Fang Yuan soon guessed that the situation was caused by his sovereign immortal body.
"Chu Du and Not Immortal face pressure because of the conflicting dao marks. There are a lot of dao marks here, while the Gu Immortals also have a lot of dao marks in their bodies."
"So even though they took one step at a time, walking on paths with rule path or strength path dao marks, the surrounding dao marks are nearby and will still pressure and reject them."
"But I am different, the dao marks here are not immortal killer moves, they have no offensive power, they cannot influence me!"
"Of course, this is just my guess, the truth might not be like this."
Fang Yuan thought as he continued walking, taking a few more steps ahead.
Not Immortal and Chu Du's expressions changed mildly.
"This Liu Guan Yi is so strong!" Not Immortal was extremely shocked.
"He is almost at the twentieth step, he can still move so calmly, the first time I came, every step was difficult, I had to exert all my effort, it was a pathetic sight!" Chu Du recalled his own experience, compared to the situation in front of him, his pride and self confidence was taking a huge beating.
A thought appeared in his mind uncontrollably: "Don't tell me, this Liu Guan Yi is an even greater genius in cultivating transformation path compared to me and strength path? He has even higher attainment level?"
Actually, Fang Yuan was trying his best to conceal himself.
He pretended to be panting, like he was very tired.
But his acting was in reference to Chu Du and Not Immortal earlier. They had gone through this many times, they were experienced, they could maintain their composure.
Even though Fang Yuan showed a pathetic sight, he was just slightly weaker than them.
Eventually, Fang Yuan stopped at the twentieth step, smiling: "I am about the same as you, Brother Chu."
Chu Du looked at Fang Yuan with deep meaning: "Brother Liu, you have not gone all out."
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I am barely holding on, if I continue, I will start spitting out blood!"
Chu Du's smile was even more bitter than his: "I will not lie to Brother Liu, the first time I came here, I started spitting out blood at the tenth step."

Chapter 1189: Huge Rise in Cultivation Level
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan's heart jumped, he realized that his performance had gone overboard.
But this was just a small mistake, it was not a problem.
"Let's continue moving, we can set the alliance agreement before talking more!" Not Immortal smiled, his attitude was much warmer than before.
Fang Yuan's earlier performance made Not Immortal's evaluation of him rise by several levels.
The three traveled in the land of dao marks with much difficulty.
As they moved forward, dao marks were denser, the obstruction was greater.
Of course, this was referring to Not Immortal and Chu Du. But Fang Yuan also faced a lot of difficulty, having to pretend he was having a tough time, so that Chu Du and Not Immortal would not be suspicious of him.
The three immortals walked and rested, the short journey took them fifteen minutes.
Eventually, they came to a rock.
"A newcomer?" The rock suddenly spoke, as smoke rose up from the rock before vanishing.
The rock had turned into a skinny and short Gu Immortal.
He had a goatee, he was at the height of Fang Yuan's knee, and his tiny eyes were shining brilliantly.
"This is one of the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics, wisdom path Gu Immortal Secret Schemer." Chu Du introduced at an appropriate timing.
Fang Yuan gasped in his mind: "This person is actually Secret Schemer!"
He concealed his expression perfectly, acting like he had heard it for the first time, immediately greeting: "Hello, I am Liu Guan Yi of transformation path."
A day later.
"Brother Liu, Brother Chu, you are leaving so soon, aren't you staying for a few more days?" At the first layer of Crazed Demon Cave, Not Immortal tried to ask them to stay.
"No." Chu Du smiled bitterly and rejected: "You also know about Northern Plains' situation, I recently created Chu Du and allied with Bai Zu tribe. Right now, the righteous path is targeting our lone cultivator sect, they cannot stand us, they are gathering members to deal with us."
Not Immortal sighed: "These are external worldly affairs, what is there that you cannot part with. Fame and reputation, will they still remain after death? In The Legends of Ren Zu, after Verdant Great Sun died, his soul went to the door of life and death, he stayed in pacifying soul lake as reputation Gu left him. Only eternal life is the worthy goal and pursuit of us Gu Immortals."
Chu Du had a determined expression: "I will make sure strength path flourishes, this is a promise I made to someone, if I cannot achieve it, I will not live in peace!"
Fang Yuan could not help but look at Chu Du.
This was the first time he had heard Chu Du say his aspiration.
Chu Du's expression of sincerity did not seem to be fake.
"It seems that there is a story behind Chu Du cultivating strength path." Fang Yuan was thinking about this, when Not Immortal asked him.
"Brother Liu, you have a lot of potential, why don't you stay here?"
Fang Yuan smiled: "I came here this time to sign the Crazed Demon Agreement. Now that it is done, I have other matters to settle."
Not Immortal actually thought more highly of Fang Yuan.
Mainly because Fang Yuan's performance this time left a deep impression on him.
Fang Yuan was more confident than Not Immortal in this aspect.
He felt that he could even run freely in the third last layer's dao mark landscape.
But if he did that, it would be too shocking, the jaws of the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics would drop!
"I have not seen the bottom and second last layers yet, I cannot assess them. But the third last layer is not a problem. Derivation Gu is at the bottom layer, but with the Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics guarding it, I cannot act alone." Fang Yuan felt it was somewhat of a pity.
One day, he would return to Crazed Demon Cave, using his advantage to explore the place.
But now was not the time.
He had to raise his cultivation level, that was the most important matter.
As for derivation Gu, even if Fang Yuan obtained it, what use would it have? It was a rank nine Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan thought back to wisdom Gu, he could neither use it, nor would he know how to, it would be a huge burden if he actually obtained it!
"Other than eternal life, everything else is temporary. Brother Liu, how long would you need?" Not Immortal asked. He did not want to let a useful person like Fang Yuan go.
Fang Yuan's gaze shined, looking at Chu Du: "Actually, I am a member of Chu Sect, right now the Huang Jin tribes are attacking Chu Sect, I need to help them."
Chu Du knew that Fang Yuan was using him as an excuse, but hearing this, he still felt warmed internally.
"Sigh, you guys… never mind." Not Immortal saw that he could not convince Fang Yuan and gave up.
Fang Yuan and Chu Du said goodbye to Not Immortal, before flying towards the sky.
On the way back, Fang Yuan asked Chu Du about the situation in Northern Plains, as well as the difficulties Chu Sect was currently facing.
Fang Yuan had also undergone the Crazed Demon Agreement, his relationship with Chu Du had deepened again.
Chu Du did not conceal it from him, he smiled bitterly: "Right now, I feel great pressure too. Even though Chu Sect allied with Bai Zu tribe, we are against an enemy with tens or hundreds of times our strength! But they are not unified and have their own territories, they can only deploy limited Gu Immortals. And they are in the righteous path, they talk about rules and reputation… we still have a chance."
"When are they coming?" Fang Yuan asked the crucial question.
Chu Du chuckled: "Far from now. Even though they are spreading news everywhere and saying harsh words, they are still far from setting off. These Huang Jin tribes have their own conflicts and disagreements, they need to consider a lot of things, things are not as simple for them as us demonic path members."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Chu Du's words made him gain even clearer insight and analysis of the current situation in Northern Plains.
Chu Du looked at Fang Yuan: "This might sound presumptuous, but Brother Liu, your transformation path has already reached great grandmaster attainment level?"
"What? Not yet." Fang Yuan replied.
"Even if you are not a great grandmaster, you are at least quasi-great grandmaster." Chu Du said with much self confidence.
Fang Yuan laughed, asking instead: "How did you know?"
Chu Du chuckled: "I deduced it from your performance with the dao marks. The higher your attainment level, the easier it is to explore Crazed Demon Cave. Not Immortal was shocked by my improvement, that was because I had recently attained a qualitative improvement in my strength path attainment level."
Chu Du stared at Fang Yuan, his gaze contained deep meaning.
Fang Yuan knew that he was trying to ask about the killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture.
After all, Chu Du was only using calamity beckoning Immortal Gu to gain some benefits from Fang Yuan.
The core method that could draw out Reckless Savage's true meaning had been kept secret by Fang Yuan, he did not reveal any of it.
Fang Yuan knew what Chu Du was trying to ask, but he pretended not to know, saying: "Oh, I see."
After saying those three words, there was no follow up, they continued traveling quietly.
Disappointment flashed deep in Chu Du's eyes.
He had been desiring immortal tribulation tempering aperture all along, but in this situation, that was no longer the focus.
Thus, Chu Du asked very vaguely, he knew that a clever person like Fang Yuan would understand what he was trying to say.
But Fang Yuan replied with three words — oh, I see.
Chu Du immediately understood, Fang Yuan had rejected him.
Like how Chu Du asked very subtly, Fang Yuan's answer was the same.
"Oh, I see." It meant that Fang Yuan's method to draw out true meaning was not for sale, he rejected a transaction.
"I can only forget about it for now." Chu Du felt it was a pity, but he was very rational. In this situation, he had to deepen his cooperation with Fang Yuan, he could not worsen their relationship.
Fang Yuan did not return to Hei Fan grotto-heaven with Chu Du.
Halfway through the journey, he parted with Chu Du.
Fang Yuan flew towards the southwest direction, some days later, he landed on an ordinary looking mound.
"According to Xue Song Zi's memories, this is the place." Fang Yuan looked around, confirming that he had arrived at the right place.
He started to activate his Immortal Gu, after a while, the immortal killer move activated successfully, and he found the location of a blessed land accurately.
His Immortal Gu and immortal killer move were borrowed from Heavenly Lord Bai Zu. For this, he paid a huge price.
However, it was completely worth it for Fang Yuan.
"Found it!" Fang Yuan's eyes shined, he summoned the upper extreme heavenly eagle.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle carried Fang Yuan and flew in a circle a few times, before piercing through space and bringing him into a new blessed land.
The owner of this blessed land had cultivated earth path during his life, thus, this blessed land was covered in black rotten mud.
Many small mud monsters were rolling around here.
From time to time, a desolate beast giant mud monster would jump up from the soil, like a huge black tidal wave.
A small mudman with a green strand of grass coming from its head floated and came to Fang Yuan.
"Bababa." The small mudman spoke, talking to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan listened and understood what it was saying.
He could not help but look at the mud below him, muttering: "To become the owner of the blessed land, I need to defeat five desolate beast mud monsters at once? Heh, easy."
The acknowledgement requirement of this earth path blessed land was difficult for most rank sixes.
But for Fang Yuan, it was very simple.
Fang Yuan was not unfamiliar with earth path, in fact, due to his previous life's experiences, his earth path attainment level was at master level.
After annexing this earth path blessed land, his Mini Western Desert gained a huge swamp.
For the following month, Fang Yuan went around everywhere, finding blessed lands and annexing them.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle displayed immense value, Fang Yuan easily got into blessed lands to explore them.
The information of these blessed lands was basically obtained from the Gu Immortals souls that Fang Yuan captured.
Dong Fang Chang Fan, Zheng Ling, Xue Song Zi, and the nine Gu Immortals in Hei Fan grotto-heaven, as well as the countless Gu Immortal souls from the turbulent flow sea area, and of course, Hei Cheng who was alive.
Counting them all, Fang Yuan had a large number of Gu Immortal captives!
These captives had been soul searched many times, he obtained all of their intel.
Fang Yuan's cultivation level rose tremendously, he skipped calamities and tribulations time and time again. The space and resources in the sovereign immortal aperture also increased each time he succeeded, rising time and time again.
Fang Yuan had long since passed his first heavenly tribulation.
By the time Fang Yuan returned to Lang Ya blessed land, in this short period of time, he had already passed two heavenly tribulations, he was a rank six Gu Immortal who was only three earthly calamities away from his third heavenly tribulation!

Chapter 1190: Blood Plain Martial Competition
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Northern Plains, Feng Xian grotto-heaven.
Rank eight Gu Immortal Prince Feng Xian was silently sitting with his eyes shut.
Flames were burning around him, like clothes fluttering in the sky, they were dazzling and brilliant, dancing like dragons or snakes, extraordinary.
Right now, Prince Feng Xian opened his mouth, spitting out small pearls of flame.
The pearls of flame grew with the wind, in a breath of time, they expanded to become orange-red fireballs with the size of a baby's head.
The fireballs circled around Prince Feng Xian's body, flying up and down, left and right.
Next, Prince Feng Xian opened his mouth again, spitting out another pearl of flame.
A while later, Prince Feng Xian already had eight fireballs around him, they were flying around, crashing into one another, they moved in a profound trail, circling around Prince Feng Xian endlessly.
Right at this time, Prince Feng Xian suddenly opened his eyes.
An unbelievably sharp light burst out from his eyes, it was extremely dazzling.
Bam bam bam…
The eight fireballs self-detonated one by one, turning into flickers of flames, dissipating.
"I failed again, I did not manage to deduce any trace of Fang Yuan." Prince Feng Xian's eyes were shining, he stared at the fireballs that were gone.
If his deduction succeeded, these flames would instantly draw Fang Yuan's location, as well as what he was doing.
Evidently, Prince Feng Xian had failed once more.
He learned nothing.
"I am not a wisdom path Gu Immortal after all, I was just mimicking wisdom path, I cannot deduce Fang Yuan's true location." Prince Feng Xian sighed.
He was tasked to capture Fang Yuan, but the problem was, he had hidden himself too deeply. Most of the time, he was inside a blessed land and did not come out. As long as blessed lands and grotto-heavens did not absorb fragments of the nine heavens, they would be a completely different world isolated from the five regions, even Fairy Zi Wei cannot deduce anything.
Prince Feng Xian primarily cultivated fire path, he naturally could not.
Of course, Fang Yuan would go outside as well.
But he had familiar face and dark limit Immortal Gu. Together with his dark path dao marks, Fang Yuan could conceal his traces every time he traveled.
"Lord Feng Xian, Gong tribe is here, they want to meet you." At this moment, a female Gu Immortal dressed in yellow came to the hall and reported.
She was beautiful like a flower, she had watery eyes and peach-like lips, she was one of Prince Feng Xian's two female Gu Immortal attendants — Le Yao.
"Gong tribe is here? Hmph." Prince Feng Xian frowned: "Not meeting them."
"But Gong tribe's Gu Immortal brought the Longevity Edict." Le Yao hesitated.
Prince Feng Xian smiled lightly: "So what if they have the Longevity Edict? It can control the Huang Jin bloodline, but I am not one of them."
Le Yao pouted: "But lord, did you forget, we are now spies inside Northern Plains. You are still a son-in-law of Gong Tribe on the surface, an external supreme elder. If you defy the Longevity Edict openly, would it not be a problem?"
"Hahaha." Prince Feng Xian laughed heartily: "Le Yao, you are only half right. Longevity Heaven is not to be underestimated, it is a rank nine grotto-heaven, it has Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's foundation, and is unfathomably deep. It is simply like Central Continent's Heavenly Court in Northern Plains! But this time, Longevity Heaven sent orders to unite the Huang Jin tribes, all of the righteous path super forces are to attack Bai Zu tribe. This is a unified battle of the Huang Jin tribes against outside forces. The collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the creation of Bai Zu tribe, as well as Chu Sect, have stepped on Longevity Heaven's bottom line constantly. This time, Longevity Heaven will definitely not ask for my help, Yao Huang is their only choice!"
Prince Feng Xian analyzed it perfectly, Le Yao's eyes shone, but she did not understand: "Then why did Gong tribe's Gu Immortal bring the Longevity Edict here personally?"
Prince Feng Xian's eyes shined with cold light: "These people from Gong tribe are trying to falsely use that authority, to use the Longevity Edict and deceive me into helping them. You also know about Gong tribe's objective, they are still dreaming of becoming the number one righteous path force."
"So that's it. Then we will not meet them!" Le Yao smiled, showing her pearly white teeth, she had a beautiful smile, like the image of spring.
It was all according to what Prince Feng Xian had analyzed, several days later, the Longevity Edict was passed on to all of the Huang Jin tribes, eventually ending up in Yao Huang's hands.
Yao Huang used his old hands to receive the Longevity Edict, sighing deeply to himself.
"This Longevity Edict still ended up with me after all."
To one who heard him mumbling, it may have seemed that Yao Huang was aware all along.
The truth was that it was an obvious situation.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was a rank eight Gu Immortal, if the Northern Plains righteous path forces wanted to deal with Bai Zu tribe, they would need to have a rank eight Gu Immortal to deal with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.
On the surface, out of the rank eight Gu Immortals in Northern Plains, other than Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, Old Ancestor Xue Hu was in the demonic path, Five Elements Grandmaster was a lone immortal and had invaded Longevity Heaven, he was already trapped inside Calamity Luck Altar. Only Prince Feng Xian and Yao Huang were left.
Prince Feng Xian's identity was the biggest problem.
He did not have the Huang Jin bloodline, he was just a son-in-law of Gong tribe!
If they relied on Prince Feng Xian and defeated Bai Zu tribe, would that not prove Five Elements Grandmaster's point? The great Huang Jin bloodline, descendants of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, could not rely on themselves to defeat a strong foe?
Thus, for Longevity Heaven, there was only one person they could choose, the rank eight refinement path Gu Immortal Yao Huang!
In fact, Yao Huang really did not want to involve himself in this mess.
Currently, he was very busy trying to refine resurrection from the dead Immortal Gu!
He was severely interrupted, Yao Huang was in a bad mood.
Ping.
A soft sound echoed.
Yao Huang threw the Longevity Edict onto the table casually.
"I should go talk to Heavenly Lord Bai Zu first." Yao Huang sighed, storing his immortal aperture and going to the outside world of Northern Plains, flying into white heaven.
A moment later, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, who received Yao Huang's invitation, hesitated for a moment, before deciding to meet with Yao Huang and discuss the matter.
The two rank eight Gu Immortals met in white heaven and talked in secret.
In fact, they were friends.
Long ago, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had considered creating Bai Zu tribe, thus, as a lone cultivator, he got very close to Yao Huang.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu wanted to be in the righteous path, but there were only two righteous path Gu Immortals, Prince Feng Xian did not originate from the righteous path, he stayed by himself and his relationship with Gong tribe was not good.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu could only have a goal of getting close to Yao Huang.
Afterwards, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and Yao Huang had fought against Old Ancestor Xue Hu together. Even though they lost and caused Old Ancestor Xue Hu's reputation to surge, this matter had brought Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and Yao Huang closer together.
Thus, when they met, there was no animosity or anger.
"Friend, what do you think?" Yao Huang smiled and asked.
"Sigh, it has gotten to this point, I'll tell you the truth, I did not expect this." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu waved his hand, he also felt very gloomy about the situation.
His motive was very simple, he wanted to take down Hei Fan grotto-heaven.
But to think that Chu Du's battle strength and wits exceeded Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's expectations, it caused the situation to change and worsen, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu could not back out.
Among which, the rumors and threats regarding Heavenly Lord Bai Zu in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world were all spread by Chu Du and his subordinates.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was aware of this.
Anyone with a functioning brain knew.
But now, in fact, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and the culprit of the rumors, Chu Du had allied, to deal with the righteous path forces that he did not want to face.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was also very helpless in the progression of this matter.
Yao Huang saw Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's expression and deeply understood his feelings, Yao Huang pointed and smiled: "Old friend, do you understand now? It is not easy to be the leader of a righteous path force, in many situations, even as rank eight Gu Immortals, we cannot act freely."
"I used to envy your lone cultivator status, I also urged you not to create any righteous path force, do you feel it now?"
"I feel it. But I have worked hard for so long, it was not easy to get such results, I am not willing to give up just yet." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu said openly.
Yao Huang was silent, before saying: "I do not want to interfere in this matter either, but I cannot help it, Longevity Heaven's token is already in my hands."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu sighed deeply, he felt gladness but also sorrow in his heart.
He was glad that his relationship with Yao Huang was close enough, but the sad thing was, he and Yao Huang were friends, but they had to fight. Even as rank eight Gu Immortals, they could not decide this for themselves.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu sighed deeply: "Then we can only fight now."
Yao tribe waved his hand: "This is an eventual matter, we are not in a rush now. Even though I am in charge of this matter, Yao tribe is just one of the righteous path forces, I still have Longevity Heaven overseeing it. They are watching patiently now, even if we fight, we cannot resolve this matter. In my opinion, we should let these juniors fight first, and rile them up."
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu pondered and nodded: "Then in that case, let's decide a date for a martial competition."
"Alright." Yao Huang thought: "Blood Plain is a good choice of location, how about there?"
"That is good." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu agreed instantly.
The two Gu Immortals talked for a while, deciding the matter of the Blood Plain martial competition, before leaving white heaven and going back to their tribes.
They gave their respective instructions on the Blood Plain martial competition.
At once, Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world went into commotion again.
A new storm was brewing, it faintly swept through the entire Northern Plains Gu Immortal world.
The Gu Immortals from the Huang Jin tribes were rubbing their hands together in anticipation, they felt that they had sufficient strength to suppress the allied forces of Bai Zu tribe and Chu Sect, they had high morale.
In terms of foundation, the allied forces of Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe could not match the alliance of the righteous path forces, but they could seek help.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was from the lone cultivator faction, while Chu Du was a famous expert in the demonic path!
There was still some time until the competition. News of the Blood Plain martial competition had spread, even Central Continent and the other regions heard of it.
Both sides were gathering strength, the righteous path Huang Jin tribes were choosing carefully, only picking the elites, while Bai Zu tribe and Chu Sect started recruiting for experts to help them, making great preparations.

Central Continent, deep in Earth Abyss.
Delicious wine and food was set out in the garden.
"Come, Brother Shi, I have heard that you like delicious wine. I have purposely looked for these wines for you to taste." Gu Immortal Yang Feng sat upright as he stretched out his arm towards his esteemed guest.
This guest had short white hair and shining golden eyes with sharp light in them, he wore a tight martial uniform and had a blue silver belt, his forearms and knees had dazzling armor.
He had broad shoulders and a slim waist, he was emitting a valiant aura. But he was half-leaning on the wall and had a casual posture, it lifted a bit of the pressure that he was emitting.
Gu Immortal Yang Feng was a rank seven transformation path Gu Immortal, an expert in Ancient Soul Sect of the ten great ancient sects, but compared to his guest, he was inferior in fame.
Because this guest was Shi Lei, he cultivated earth path primarily and transformation path secondarily, he was at the peak of rank seven, he was an expert of Central Continent known as the Immortal Monkey King!
"Then I will not stand on ceremony." Shi Lei laughed, he stretched out his arm, lifting the wine vat on the table.
Breaking the seal, the smell of liquor burst out, it felt like an intense flame had started raging.
Instantly, in the huge garden, it was filled with the smell of thick alcohol.
The alcohol was red in color, the vapor gathered around the vat, resembling a bright cloud of flames.
Shi Lei saw this and became joyful, praising: "Good wine! So this is the legendary red emperor wine. Brother Yang Feng, you could actually get your hands on this, you are quite impressive."
Gu Immortal Yang Feng laughed loudly: "I'll not hide it from Brother Shi, I paid a huge price to obtain it from Ancient Soul Sect's treasury. Come to speak of it, this was thanks to our ancestor. Three hundred thousand years ago, a Gu Immortal from our sect became friends with a Gu Immortal of Eastern Sea, Wine Emperor, during the Gu refinement path convention, they competed in refining Gu and agreed that whoever won would obtain the loser's creation. They fought for eighty-one days, having their respective victories, they were closely matched. This red emperor wine was created by Wine Emperor, he had lost it to our ancestor."
Ancient Soul Sect of the ten great ancient sects had ancient in its name, true to its name, the sect was very old, having the longest history among the ten great ancient sects.
Three hundred thousand years ago, that was the Medieval Antiquity Era. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable appeared in succession during this era. A female Gu Immortal, Shui Ni, founded water path and built Spirit Affinity House, it was also during this era.
"Oh?" Shi Lei was intrigued: "Wine Emperor, I know this person, he was a food path rank eight expert, he was very famous in human history. His entire life's effort was in the creation of his three sovereign five emperor wines. Legend says that by combining these eight wines, one can obtain the rank eight liquor worm Immortal Gu. Using this Gu, one can turn rank eight white litchi immortal essence into rank nine yellow apricot immortal essence. After this person died, he left his inheritance behind. Currently, there is the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal Zui Xian Weng, who became the one hundred and thirty-seventh inheritor."
"Brother Shi, you are so knowledgeable, I am impressed. Cheers!" Yang Feng raised his wine cup.
Shi Lei waved his hand instead: "Drinking with a cup is not satisfying enough, let's drink from the vats directly."
"Okay, Brother Shi, you are very direct, I will do the same." Yang Feng patted the table, replying.
But Shi Lei had just touched the vat when his movements paused, his expression changed as he looked outside.
An information path Immortal Gu had appeared in the sky above the garden, it was flying around but did not land.
Shi Lei's golden eyes shone: "This is an Immortal Gu from my sect, Brother Yang, please let it in."
This garden was not normal, it was exquisitely built, grand with white jade tiles, it was oozing with cold air, there were faint dragon roars heard occasionally, this was Ancient Soul Sect's Immortal Gu House, Frost Dragon Manor!
Yang Feng manipulated the Immortal Gu House, opening a path for the information path Immortal Gu to fly towards Shi Lei.
After inspecting it, Shi Lei's expression changed slightly.
Yang Feng could not ask about the sect matters, he raised his cup and savored the red emperor wine.
To think that Shi Lei took the initiative: "Northern Plains Gu Immortals are indeed battle maniacs, Hei tribe was just destroyed, and now they are starting to fight again. This time, the commotion is even bigger. All the Huang Jin tribes are ganging up to deal with the newly established alliance of Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe."
"Chu Sect?" Yang Feng was confused.
"This is a newly created sect, do you know about Northern Plains' Chu Du?"
"I know a little, a strength path Gu Immortal, known as Domination Immortal."
"That's right, he created Chu Sect. This person is not to be underestimated, he used Hei Fan grotto-heaven to forcefully resist Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's invasion. He even nurtured many strength path Gu Immortals secretly, he has quite a force."
Yang Feng frowned, after absorbing this information, he said: "Strength path is like the setting sun, it is nothing much. But this Chu Sect is probably the first sect in Northern Plains, this Chu Du is so daring!"
"That's right." Shi Lei said: "This is a good show to watch. Both sides have agreed to hold a martial competition. Hehe, Northern Plains is really exciting, they are fighting all the time, why was I not born in Northern Plains."
"Cough, cough."
Shi Lei patted his own head: "Oh, I nearly forgot. Heavenly Court has orders, we are to go and attack Star Form blessed land now."
"Why, Heavenly Court has already confirmed that Fang Yuan will not come?" Yang Feng asked in surprise.
As it turned out, after Ying Wu Xie and the rest escaped from Heavenly Court, Fairy Zi Wei had never given up on searching for Fang Yuan's traces.
Fang Yuan's true body was not exposed yet, even Prince Feng Xian could not make any progress. But using some clues and her immense capabilities, Fairy Zi Wei managed to forcefully deduce the existence of Star Form blessed land.
Star Form blessed land was inside Earth Abyss, it was in Ancient Soul Sect's territory.
Fairy Zi Wei specially asked Gu Immortal Shi Lei to complete a task.
Shi Lei was a supreme elder of Combat Immortal Sect, Ancient Soul Sect sent Yang Feng to cooperate with Shi Lei.
Shi Lei was following orders, according to Fairy Zi Wei's plan, he was waiting in ambush. The moment Fang Yuan returned to Star Form blessed land, he would capture him immediately.
But after waiting for so long, Fang Yuan did not even appear once!
Not long ago, Star Form blessed land faced calamity, Fang Yuan made up his mind and ignored it.
Fairy Zi Wei noticed Fang Yuan's determination and deduced that if Star Form blessed land was kept intact, it would be of much help to Fang Yuan in the future.
Thus, she decided to go ahead and order Shi Lei to destroy Star Form blessed land.
Spirit Affinity House.
Lake Heart Mountain.
Feng Jin Huang's accommodations.
"Senior sister, you are amazing, you could refine even this type of Gu!" Qin Juan held the Gu with both hands as she cried out excitedly.
Feng Jin Huang had snowy skin, her eyebrows were long and golden, her lips curled up as she smiled: "This is nothing much."
She had dream wings Immortal Gu, her refinement path attainment was now grandmaster level. Refining a rank three mortal Gu was really nothing much.
"Senior, senior sister, oh no!" At this time, a Gu Master ran over with a flustered look on her chubby face.
Qin Juan was unhappy at her demeanor: "Sun Yao, you are an elite disciple of Spirit Affinity House, how can you be so panicky."
Feng Jin Huang smiled: "No need to worry, I am here. Tell me, what happened?"
Sun Yao breathed in deeply as she said: "That, that Zhao Lian Yun is coming!"
"What, Zhao Lian Yun?" Qin Juan's expression changed, she looked at Feng Jin Huang worriedly: "Zhao Lian Yun is an otherworldly demon, she has also inherited Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's true inheritance, since she joined the sect, she had been your opponent. Zhao Lian Yun wants to compete with senior sister over the next generation fairy position of Spirit Affinity House, why is she coming here to find you?"
Feng Jin Huang's smile gradually faded: "I am not sure either, go, let's meet her and ask, wouldn't that answer our questions?"
The three left the room, meeting a girl.
This girl was dressed in white, like a flower by the lake, she had long black silky hair with a worried look between her eyebrows, she had clear skin and pupils like they were fused with the night sky, expressing worry and anxiety.
Such beauty was comparable to Feng Jin Huang, it was Zhao Lian Yun!
"Junior sister Zhao, I wonder what business you have with me?" Feng Jin Huang was the first to ask.
Zhao Lian Yun hesitated for a moment, determination shone in her eyes.
Plop.
At the next moment, she knelt down.
Qin Juan and Sun Yao did not expect this, they gasped in shock.
Feng Jin Huang was also quite shocked: "Junior sister Zhao, why are you doing this?"
"I really have no other alternatives. Please, please save Ma Hong Yun!" Zhao Lian Yun said, as tears flowed down her smooth cheeks.
"Ma Hong Yun, who is he? He asked you to come and beg me? Come, you can get up and tell me, don't kneel." Feng Jin Huang quickly walked forward, stretching out her arms to help Zhao Lian Yun stand up.
She had the magnanimity of a senior sister.
Even though she and Zhao Lian Yun were fiercely competing for the position of fairy, now that Zhao Lian Yun was begging her, Feng Jin Huang did not look down on her, she offered to help her up instead.
But Zhao Lian Yun did not get up, she shook off Feng Jin Huang's hands, sobbing: "Right now, the only one who can help me is you, senior sister Feng Jin Huang!"
Southern Border, Gu Yue village.
Fang Yuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, he said to the two people sitting in front: "Uncle, aunt, you have already obtained the inheritance my parents left. Right now, I need some primeval stones, can't you help me?"
Aunt snorted, saying shrilly: "That is not right, we did not take your parents' inheritance, they are with your brother. Your brother has A grade aptitude, he has a far better future than you. I believe that your parents would do this too if they were still alive."
"Oh Fang Yuan." Uncle said in a calm and slow manner: "I know what you are thinking, you want primeval stones to buy Gu refinement materials and refine Gu. But do you know how hard it is to refine Gu? How big the risks are? You, oh, you are simply too young. Don't bear such unrealistic thoughts, just do your part properly. With your C grade aptitude, stop dreaming and live your life realistically."
It was winter now.
Inside the warm room, Fang Yuan's heart was ice cold.
He had been standing on the spot, after a short silence, he said: "I understand now."
He turned around and walked out.
Behind him, aunt criticized sarcastically: "Leaving like this? Not even saying goodbye, he is truly polite!"
Uncle was smiling, saying in a fake tone: "Oh Fang Yuan, don't be so anxious to leave, stay for dinner."
Fang Yuan did not stop, he walked even faster with firmer steps.
From his uncle and aunt's place, he went towards the streets with many people.
It was late at night now.
Even though there was no snow, the cold air gave Fang Yuan a bone chilling feeling.
Next, he looked up at the sky, clenching his fists.
In the sky, countless stars were shining brightly.
Starlight reflected in Fang Yuan's pupils, his eyes seemed to be shining with life.
"Since I transmigrated to this world, I must achieve something in life, so what if I have C grade aptitude, I can definitely succeed!"
Fang Yuan did not see that behind him, a figure was quietly tailing him, watching all the events unfold.
The stars in the night sky were shining even more brightly, this figure's appearance became clear.
It was another Fang Yuan.
But this Fang Yuan's appearance had changed completely, experience and maturity was also deep in his gaze.
Under his supervision, the entire night sky, the entire dream realm faded, as if there was a thick layer of fog in the sky, gradually, everything vanished.
In the real world, Fang Yuan opened his eyes slowly, muttering: "To think… that I could re-experience what happened in my previous life."

Central Continent, Spirit Affinity House.
"Zhao Lian Yun might be an otherworldly demon, but she has deep love in her." Feng Jin Huang's mother Fairy Bai Qing looked through the window, a very far distance away, focusing on Zhao Lian Yun, who was still kneeling in the courtyard.
Zhao Lian Yun approached Feng Jin Huang and begged her to help save Ma Hong Yun.
Feng Jin Huang was lost, after asking, she learned about Zhao Lian Yun and Ma Hong Yun's heart wrenching story.
Zhao Lian Yun was begging for help, but regardless of what Feng Jin Huang said, she seemed to be fixated on this, she refused to get up. Feng Jin Huang had no choice but to find her parents for help.
Her mother was a rank seven female immortal of Spirit Affinity House, Bai Qing, while her father was the famous Feng Jiu Ge!
Feng Jiu Ge walked towards Fairy Bai Qing, he did not look at Zhao Lian Yun, instead, he looked at the sky, saying plainly: "Dear, can't you tell? Zhao Lian Yun is guided by some people."
Fairy Bai Qing's gaze flashed: "Do you mean Xu Hao and Li Jun Ying?"
Places with people will have competition for benefits.
Spirit Affinity House had its internal conflicts too.
Feng Jiu Ge was powerful, in the absence of rank eights, he dominated the ten great ancient sects, nobody could rival him. But this did not mean he had no opponents.
Competition in this world did not just involve fighting and killing.
Xu Hao and Li Jun Ying were Feng Jiu Ge's main opponents in Spirit Affinity House.
The two of them were married too.
Among which, Xu Hao was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, while Li Jun Ying was known as the Illusory Fairy, her power was extraordinary.
In the previous life, when Feng Jiu Ge died inside the Thieving Heaven true inheritance's special space, these two immediately exerted pressure on Fairy Bai Qing and had a powerful stance. But afterwards, when Fang Yuan used Spring Autumn Cicada and ended up saving Feng Jiu Ge, history was changed.
Feng Jiu Ge's return caused great pressure on Xu Hao and Li Jun Ying, they were at a disadvantage.
However, using Zhao Lian Yun's influence, the two of them held their ground and were untouchable by even Feng Jiu Ge inside Spirit Affinity House.
Hearing Fairy Bai Qing mention their names, Feng Jiu Ge admitted: "It is them. This was my mistake, back then, I sent Xu Hao to complete the mission for the Thieving Heaven true inheritance, I wanted to push them aside, but to think they actually benefited from it."
"Huang Er wants to be the next generation fairy, she was originally unmatched, but now, Zhao Lian Yun appeared. As expected of an otherworldly demon, this woman is very intelligent and has a different perspective on many matters, yet she can get to the point and succeed in her unique methods, she is truly worthy of being Huang Er's opponent."
"This time, Zhao Lian Yun is kneeling and begging for help, Xu Hao probably instigated this. Zhao Lian Yun wants to save her lover, she has to fight for the position of fairy. That way, she would have enough authority to use Spirit Affinity House's power. If Huang Er gives in to her, she would give up being the fairy. But if she rejects her, it would breed trouble."
Feng Jiu Ge analyzed deeply, he easily exposed Xu Hao's schemes.
He was a sound path Gu Immortal, but he had incredible wits, he had a keen perception towards these internal conflicts.
Fairy Bai Qing rolled her eyes, saying playfully: "Dear, why would I not understand these? Our Spirit Affinity House's signature Immortal Gu is Love, our sect values moving people through love. Xu Hao asked Zhao Lian Yun to do this, he probably does not expect her to succeed. But after Zhao Lian Yun is rejected by Huang Er, others would sympathize with her."
"Hahaha, my dear, you are so smart, I was unduly worried." Feng Jiu Ge laughed.
Xu Hao was trying so desperately to make Zhao Lian Yun win and defeat Feng Jin Huang, and become the fairy of Spirit Affinity House. That way, he could use Zhao Lian Yun's power to ally with others and oppose Feng Jiu Ge together.
Xu Hao had a good plan.
All along, Zhao Lian Yun's identity as an otherworldly demon was her biggest obstacle in becoming Spirit Affinity House's fairy. Because people were more willing to believe in those who originated from a similar background.
Zhao Lian Yun, who came from another world, was ostracized and guarded against.
But after this matter, Zhao Lian Yun's image in Spirit Affinity House would completely transform in the eyes of everyone.
Even though Zhao Lian Yun was an otherworldly demon, she loved a man of the Gu world.
For this man, she fought for the position of fairy, she was not a vicious or ambitious person.
She was really pitiful, nobody was helping her. Her lover was in Northern Plains, he might die any time, these lovebirds might never get together again!
"This time, Xu Hao made a good plan. No matter what decision Huang Er makes, she would still lose. In fact, to compete for the position of fairy, she has to reject Zhao Lian Yun." Feng Jiu Ge said plainly.
"Then we let her continue kneeling here?" Fairy Bai Qing asked.
Feng Jiu Ge smiled: "No worries, she won't stay here for long, this is just a show."
But Fairy Bai Qing shook her head: "I do not agree with this. Did you not see Zhao Lian Yun's eyes, she is so determined and resolute, she is in deep agony. Do you think Xu Hao would tell her about the truth? At this moment, Zhao Lian Yun probably thinks that her only hope in saving her lover lies in Huang Er giving up this contest! She will definitely not give up, she will continue kneeling."
Feng Jiu Ge did not speak, he looked at the sky, he still paid no attention to Zhao Lian Yun.
Feng Jiu Ge was a little regretful now.
If he had known this, he would not have bought Zhao Lian Yun back in the Northern Plains auction.
Right now, she was Feng Jin Huang's greatest obstacle.
Parents in this world still had the same wishes, they wanted their sons or daughters to succeed in life.
Even Feng Jiu Ge with rank eight battle strength was no exception from this.
"Even your mother pities Zhao Lian Yun, oh Huang Er, we will not advise you this time, how will you deal with this?" Feng Jiu Ge was secretly anticipating as he waited.
On the road to Lake Heart Mountain.
Qin Juan kicked a rock along the path angrily: "This Zhao Lian Yun is so annoying! Is this how you beg someone? She wants you to give up the contest for the position of fairy, she has the nerves to say that! She is really shameless."
"But she really has no choice. She already explained that this is for the sake of her lover" Sun Yao mumbled.
"Yes but even so, she cannot do this. Kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up, does she want us to beg her to get up? Seriously, oh, I am so angry! She even caused senior sister's home to be surrounded by spectators, causing you to be unable to go home, and have to roam out here!" Qin Juan stomped, going crazy.
"However, she is really pitiful. I did not feel that last time, but hearing her words, I find that Zhao Lian Yun is really kind too…" Sun Yao shook her head.
"Hey, whose side are you on, you are speaking up for Zhao Lian Yun!" Qin Juan was furious as she pointed at Sun Yao: "Senior sister is the most qualified person to be Spirit Affinity House's fairy, Zhao Lian Yun is an outsider, how can she? And you, Sun Yao, correct your attitude. Did you forget about how senior sister has been taking care of us all along? You actually said such words, are you repaying kindness with enmity?"
"No, I have no such intentions. I just think that she is pitiful, no matter what decision senior sister makes, I will support her." Sun Yao waved her hand, explaining.
Qin Juan calmed down a little, she started worrying for Feng Jin Huang: "Senior sister must be troubled now. This Zhao Lian Yun really posed a good problem. If we agree to her demand, we will give up the position of fairy. But if we don't, people will say that senior sister is heartless, and people will sympathize for Zhao Lian Yun and acknowledge her. Most importantly, the contest for fairy is not just decided by our seniors, it also considers the view of our generation's disciples. Every generation's fairy in Spirit Affinity House has to be acknowledged by everyone!"
"Hehehe." Walking in front, Feng Jin Huang suddenly laughed lightly to herself.
She stopped walking, Qin Juan and Sun Yao realized that they were at the mountain slope that they usually went to.
Feng Jin Huang stood on the slope, raising her head as she looked at the stars in the sky.
Next, she spoke: "I will not concede."
Her tone was plain, but Sun Yao and Qin Juan could hear her unwavering determination.
Feng Jin Huang's clear eyes reflected the light of the stars in the sky. Winds of the night blew, caressing her face as her hair fluttered in the sky.
She continued: "Even though Zhao Lian Yun is pitiful, the title of the next generation fairy is my goal. This is the path that I have decided on, I will not change it for the sake of others!"
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan was inside his own dream realm.
Inside Qing Mao Mountain again.
In Gu Yue village, a young Fang Yuan was standing in front of Gu Yue clan leader.
"You want me to give in to Fang Zheng tomorrow on purpose? And lose to him?!" Fang Yuan stared with wide opened eyes, growling.
Gu Yue clan leader sighed: "Fang Yuan, I understand that this is not your fault, Fang Zheng was the instigator. But you need to understand, he has been living under your shadow, unable to get free. He challenged you because his heart's inner desires are leading him to oppose you, to defeat you and break free from his childhood trauma, and obtain the heart of an expert."
Fang Yuan lowered his head, gritting his teeth: "Clan leader, since you looked for me in secret, that means I have the strength to defeat him."
"That's right, you took a debt and pawned all of your assets just to luckily succeed in refining that Gu. This greatly raised your battle strength. But Fang Zheng has A grade aptitude, he is taught by several elders, he has quite the skill, he just lacks some experience." Gu Yue clan elder said.
"A grade aptitude… hehe." Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at Gu Yue clan leader, smiling in a mocking manner.
"Your decision is?" Gu Yue clan leader was expressionless, looking down at Fang Yuan imposingly.
Fang Yuan turned around and walked away.
His figure faded into the shadows.
He left with one sentence: "I'll do it."
Gu Yue clan leader did not speak, his gaze became dark as he muttered to himself: "He conceded so easily, he must have other ideas. To play it safe, I should preemptively weaken him first."

Chapter 1193: Gong Wan Ting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shone, the flowers and grass were still wet with dew.
A blood thorn snake slithered out of its cavern after the unbearable cold night, greedily absorbing the warmth of the sunlight.
Ordinary snakes were cold-blooded, but the blood thorn snake's blood was warm.
As its temperature rose, it gradually regained its nimbleness. It stretched out its body and flicked out its tongue, as it started to look for food.
It needed to get enough food today and digest them to cope with the next cold night.
In this world, all living beings were struggling and fighting for every aspect of survival.
The appearance of the blood thorn snake was terrifying, but its nature was gentle. It did not eat meat and it fed on blood jaspers.
Its tongue darted in and out, and soon, it discovered its food.
Blood jaspers were translucent, like rose stones, hanging on the tips of stalks of grass. It was the dew from flowers and plants which had certain probabilities of transforming under the rays of dawn.
If this blood jasper managed to avoid the blood thorn snake's hunt and endure through the cold nights, after seven days and seven nights, it would transform into a small rank one blood jasper Gu.
The blood thorn snake quickly slithered over.
Rustle rustle….
The dense shrubs were shaking continuously, showing traces of a line. Within several breaths of time, the blood thorn snake crossed a thousand steps of distance and neared this blood jasper.
The snake's head rose and was about to devour this delectable food when suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from the horizon.
The blood thorn snake shook in fear, its whole body fell down to the ground without any trace of strength left.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions reverberated through the landscape like war drums.
An enormous hall moved through the clouds and descended above this grassland, like the ruler of the world.
This hall had a broad structure and magnificent appearance, with lightning snakes coiling around it and countless thunderbolts raining down beside it.
Inside the hall, Nu Er Gu laughed heartily: "Sure enough, Loud Thunder Hall is extremely powerful! In this blood battle competition, my Nu Er tribe has this hall to suppress the situation, we will definitely kill the enemies. Hahaha!"
He was a famous rank seven Gu Immortal expert of Northern Plains' righteous path, specializing in sound path and had impressive battle achievements. His battle strength stood at the same level as Guan Chou of Guan tribe, Unfettered Scholar and Pi Shui Han.
Nu Er Gu had a small head and big belly, his body was disproportional, his eyeballs were popping out, while his limbs were dry as twigs, he had pale skin resembling a sick person, without any hint of blood in his face.
Right now, Nu Er Gu was controlling Loud Thunder Hall, experiencing the overflowing strength of this Immortal Gu House.
He was extremely excited!
Along with Nu Er Gu were several of Nu Er tribe's Gu Immortals.
Among them, a girl did not conceal her frown, covering her ears as she shouted: "Alright, Nu Er Gu, stop using thunder sound. It is truly noisy, if you use it again, I will turn you into a toad."
Nu Er Gu who had been in high spirits, heard the girl's threat, his demeanor immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Great-aunt, I made a mistake!" He quickly turned around and bowed in apology.
The girl waved her hand: "Little Gu, you need to behave, we can't stand out in this blood battle martial competition. Yao tribe, Guan tribe and Liu tribe are the ones nearer to Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe. If we put too much effort, they will just watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits."
"Yes, great-aunt, you are right. I shall listen to great-aunt's arrangement." Nu Er Gu quickly patted his chest and assured.
The other Nu Er tribe Gu Immortals almost could not hold back their laughter.
According to bloodline seniority, this Gu Immortal with the appearance of a little girl was indeed Nu Er Gu's great-aunt.
The crucial point was that she was very powerful and had a trump card immortal killer move, which she had tested on Nu Er Gu since he was young. The trauma on Nu Er Gu was extremely huge from this, and he had developed a fear of his great-aunt.
"Hmm? Gong tribe's people are also coming." The girl suddenly turned around, under the amplification of Loud Thunder Hall, her gaze easily pierced through an enormous distance, seeing another Immortal Gu House.
This Immortal Gu House was similarly a hall, it was Gong tribe's Golden Dawn Hall, shining with brilliant golden radiance.
When Nu Er Gu saw a female Gu Immortal standing at the entrance of the Golden Dawn Hall, he immediately frowned: "Why is it her?"
This woman looked to be in her late twenties, she was clad in dazzling palace attire with the lower hems touching the ground, her black hair was tied up high with jade and gold ornaments. Her skin was snow white, her eyebrows slender, her gaze sharp, and her chest was voluptuous and perky. She looked stately and beautiful, giving a feeling that she could not be offended.
"Gong Wan Ting?" Nu Er tribe's girl exclaimed in slight surprise, before quickly adding, "Come with me."
Nu Er tribe's Gu Immortals immediately flew out of Loud Thunder Hall and went up to the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall.
The girl greeted first in a cordial tone: "Elder sister Wan Ting, hope you have been well."
Gong Wan Ting lightly smiled: "Little sister Nu Er Qian, good day to you."
The two Immortal Gu House stopped above Blood Plain, this was a rare scene in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world.
Next, the third Immortal Gu House appeared, making this scene even more colorful.
Divine Light Hall!
Yao tribe's Immortal Gu House.
A Gu Immortal of Yao tribe, Yao Yuan Ying, flew out of the Immortal Gu House and greeted Gong Wan Ting first before greeting Nu Er Qian.
Nu Er Gu could not help but secretly transmit his voice to Nu Er Qian: "Great-aunt, it looks like Gong tribe came prepared this time. Sending Gong Wan Ting over, even the current holder of the Longevity Edict, Yao tribe, is overwhelmed."
Nu Er Qian transmitted back her reply: "Gong Wan Ting is Prince Feng Xian's official wife, who can dare to not respect her? Even if Yao Huang were to be present, he would also have to be somewhat courteous to her. But the person Yao tribe sent this time is actually Yao Yuan Ying. Her nature is gentle and she is not proficient in fighting and killing, but is specialized in healing. It seems Yao tribe also does not have the intention to put in much effort."
Just looking at these Gu Immortals, one could have some clues to the thoughts of each tribe.
Last time, Gong tribe had suffered the most in the battle at Iron Eagle blessed land, when Gong Er returned to the tribe, he had been punished. This time, Gong tribe wanted Prince Feng Xian to show up, but their ploy was seen through by Prince Feng Xian. Gong tribe could only choose the next best option, sending Gong Wan Ting.
She was Prince Feng Xian's wife, she had rank seven cultivation, with powerful battle strength, and was a genuine expert. Gong tribe's main objective this time was to revitalize their prestige.
Yao tribe sent Yao Yuan Ying, a healing Gu Immortal who was not good at fighting, and she had been appointed by Yao Huang. Yao Huang was friends with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, so he came up with the blood battle martial competition as an explanation to Longevity Heaven, his main focus was still on refining Gu. Some combative Gu Immortals of Yao tribe had been suppressed by Yao Huang, and could only grit their teeth with nothing they could do about it.
Nu Er tribe sent Nu Er Qian and Nu Er Gu as the main forces. Nu Er Gu's nature was erratic and was very aggressive, while Nu Er Qian was stable, experienced and very reliable. The main thing was that she could restrain Nu Er Gu.
However, Nu Er tribe also had the intention to forge ahead this time. So they did not stint on mobilizing the tribe's Immortal Gu House, Loud Thunder Hall.
But the final decision was in Nu Er Qian's hands.
Next, Huang Jin tribes appeared one after the other.
Liu tribe, Ye Lui tribe, Chanyu tribe, Meng tribe, Yuan tribe, Nian Er tribe, Murong tribe, Guan tribe.
A total of eleven Huang Jin tribes, super forces who ruled over territories, and had undisputed influence to Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world.
There had been two more tribes previously.
One was Dong Fang tribe, it was a pity, Dong Fang Chang Fan made it flourish, and it also was destroyed because of the failure of his plan to resurrect.
It could be said that Dong Fang tribe rose because of Dong Fang Chang Fan, and also suffered their downfall at Dong Fang Chang Fan's hands.
Another was Hei tribe. Hei tribe had many surviving Gu Immortals, but they were annexed by Bai Zu tribe, their tribe name was discarded and they no longer were acknowledged by other Huang Jin tribes, even being cast aside and disdained upon.
"Greetings to Fairy Gong Wan Ting." Like Yao tribe and Nu Er tribe, the Gu Immortals of different tribes also greeted Gong Wan Ting.
Gong Wan Ting's own battle strength made her an undisputed leader of the righteous path, and more importantly was her status, she was Prince Feng Xian's wife!
Even if she were a mortal, just this status alone was worthy for these Gu Immortals to have such an attitude.
"Gong tribe actually sent Fairy Wan Ting over, such a ruthless move, they clearly want to suppress Yao tribe."
"Gong tribe's people like to look down on others, to be honest, I like Yao tribe a bit more. After all, Lord Yao Huang is of our Huang Jin bloodline."
Each tribe's Gu Immortals acutely sensed the undercurrents in the righteous path forces, they were all secretly discussing, and looking forward to how Yao tribe would react.
"With Fairy Gong Wan Ting here, how could I, Yao Yuan Ying, command this edict?" Beyond most of the Gu Immortals' expectations, Yao tribe's representative Yao Yuan Ying directly handed over the Longevity Edict.
Gong Wan Ting, however, refused with a smile.
Yao Yuan Ying offered a second time.
Gong Wan Ting again refused, except her attitude had eased up by a lot.
Yao Yuan Ying offered the third time, and only then did Gong Wan Ting accept, looking like she was forced to.
And the moment she took it, she placed it at the center of the plaque on the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall.
Gong Wan Ting then continued: "Everyone, please come inside the hall. My tribe has already prepared some light wine and delicacies."
The immortals all accepted her invitation.
Previously, Gong Er had also invited others, but no one gave him face. Gong Wan Ting, however, was different, all the immortals knew that behind her was Prince Feng Xian. Even though the rumors of marital discord between them had spread for a long time, the immortals could not be careless.
Each tribe's immortals entered the hall.
Yao tribe was seated first from the left side, because left had the highest status, followed by right and center. 1
Nu Er tribe was first from the right side because they had brought Loud Thunder Hall.
Other tribes were arranged according to the strength of the forces that they sent over.
Who could have thought such an arrangement would make one person extremely dissatisfied.
"Why is my Nian Er tribe last? Does Gong Wan Ting look down on us?" Nian Er Ping Zhi was outraged, as he transmitted his voice to the tribe's senior Gu Immortal beside him.
Right now, it was not just Nian Er Fu who came, but also wood path Gu Immortal Nian Er Yi Fang.
When he heard the words, he placed his aged hand on Nian Er Ping Zhi's shoulder, and spoke expectantly and with encouragement: "Ping Zhi, if you are dissatisfied, kill some opponents in the blood martial competition, at that time, when we mention changing our positions, no one will stop us, and it will also show our Nian Er tribe's prestige."
"Elder Yi Fang, you are right! I will do so then!" Nian Er Ping Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes brightened with a sharp luster.
From the main seat in the middle, Gong Wan Ting was secretly observing everyone, and when she saw Nian Er Ping Zhi's expression, she smiled lightly in her mind.

Chapter 1194: Not Kneeling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The righteous path's immortals had just been sitting for a while, when lone and demonic immortals also appeared.
A huge grey cloud was flying over, upon which Domination Immortal Chu Du proudly stood at the front, behind him were two battle formations. On one side were Hao Zhen, Chou Lao Wu, Li Si Chun, Immortal Wang and others. On the other side were Bai Zu Ren, Bai Zu Ling as well as some familiar faces of Hei tribe, among which the four top supreme elders were also there.
The righteous path immortals' gazes went past the spacious entrance.
Their glances swept through the enemy group of immortals, before they fixed their gazes on Chu Du.
Several breaths later, a Gu Immortal laughed: "Our righteous path shall win this battle, no doubt. What Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe, such a line-up dares to provoke our Huang Jin tribes?"
"Haha, that makes sense."
"The way I see it, we only need to be slightly on guard against Chu Du."
The immortals talked happily, the atmosphere in the hall becoming relaxed.
In contrast, Hao Zhen, Chou Lao Wu, Bai Zu Ren and others looked gloomy and worried.
One would just have to look at the situation and they would know it.
The righteous path had brought out three Immortal Gu Houses.
Loud Thunder Hall was to the right, Golden Dawn Hall was at the center, and Divine Light Hall was to the left.
In contrast, Chu Du's side only had a huge empty grey cloud below them. The stronger and weaker side was clear at a glance.
The righteous path immortals were resting at ease with wines and delicacies inside the hall. But Chu Du's side was standing amidst the wind, only able to watch.
The righteous path immortals talked and laughed, their morale was high. In contrast, Chu Du's side was silent.
Only Chu Du had a relaxed expression.
He had both brains and brawn, he was extremely shrewd, and had already anticipated such a scene before this trip. Right now, he was not anxious, he looked at a Gu Immortal beside him.
This immortal was tall and thin, folding his arms across his chest, he had white brows and white hair, and had an extremely cold and aloof expression.
Chu Du transmitted his voice to him: "Brother Xue, you have been in seclusion for a long time, tempering your abilities, and possess astonishing attainments, but you don't have reputation. Right now is the time to make your name known, I want to hand over the first battle to you. After this battle, I believe your name will not only be spread to the world, it will likely go down in history."
The Gu Immortal surnamed Xue heard this, and bright light shone in his eyes immediately.
"Last time, Brother Chu invited me to take action, but I was refining Gu and not able to come out. This time, I must make the world know of my, Xue Wu Hen's, name!"
The Gu Immortal named Xue transmitted his reply to Chu Du, and then flew to the sky before hovering between the two sides.
He still had his arms folded across his chest as he remained silent.
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, the immortals pointed at Xue Wu Hen and jokingly spoke: "They sent some nameless junior to his death."
Nian Er Ping Zhi was just about to stand up and take the fight, but was stopped by Nian Er Yi Fang: "Be patient, the enemy only has rank six cultivation and has no reputation. Killing him won't be enough to awe these immortals. No need to take this fight."
"Ah?" Nian Er Ping Zhi thought for a moment and realized it was true, and did not get up.
"Who wants to take the first battle?" From the main seat, Gong Wan Ting asked the group of immortals.
A young Gu Immortal stood up soon after: "I, Ye Lui Xiao Jin, am willing to take the fight!"
Gong Wan Ting hesitated for a moment.
She was inwardly thinking: "Domination Immortal Chu Du is an extraordinary person, he actually sent a nameless character for the first battle, they are definitely not someone ordinary. If our side gets careless and we lose the first battle, it won't be good."
Ye Lui Xiao Jin was also a young junior, and came to the blood battle competition under the company of his seniors. He was also like the enemy, he was still unknown and had not made a name for himself.
At this time, Ye Lui tribe's Gu Immortal Ye Lui Hui Hong smiled: "This junior might only be rank six, but he is talented in fighting and often pulls brilliant moves in battle. Even my tribe's first supreme elder has praised him repeatedly."
Gong Wan Ting heard Ye Lui Hui Hong, it was not good to contradict and disregard him publicly, so she agreed: "Then we shall see Ye Lui tribe's valiance."
"I heed the command!" This young Gu Immortal turned around and walked out.
When he passed by Nian Er tribe, he gave a deep glance at Nian Er Ping Zhi with his golden eyes.
"You!" Nian Er Ping Zhi was provoked, and almost jumped up.
But Ye Lui Xiao Jin had already walked out the entrance.
Nian Er Ping Zhi had made his name in the battle at Iron Eagle blessed land, but many young righteous path Gu Immortals were not willing to feel defeated, Ye Lui Xiao Jin was one of them.
This time, he also wanted to spread and establish his name through the blood battle martial competition!
The blood battle martial competition's first battle was about to unfold under both sides' gazes.
At the same time, far away at Southern Border.
"I have told you all the crucial information regarding Bai Xiang grotto-heaven. After a bloodline descendant of Bai Xiang becomes a Gu Immortal, this white form immortal snake can guide them to Bai Xiang grotto-heaven. But Bai Xiang grotto-heaven is filled with danger. Because Bai Xiang of the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs is a demonic path Gu Immortal, you need to be very careful when doing this. According to the information my Shadow Sect has gathered, Bai Xiang was a man of his word, and hated people who went against his wish, and was extremely tyrannical in the way he did things. Only Gu Immortals whose battle strength met his expectations could talk and associate with him. You cannot stubbornly charge ahead in this trip, you need to remember when to yield."
Ying Wu Xie carefully instructed Bai Ning Bing.
Shadow Sect had already looked into the bet between the Five Xiangs for a long time, and wanted to meddle in it.
But inopportune time and coincidences made this plan progress very slowly. Naturally, the main reason was because Shadow Sect's full efforts were in refining sovereign immortal fetus Gu.
Shadow Sect recruited Bai Ning Bing because they wanted to hit two birds with one stone. On one hand, they wanted to exploit her identity as a fate-escapee, on the other hand, they were preparing to step into the bet.
Bai Ning Bing snorted: "I know what to do."
Ying Wu Xie was unfazed, still smiling: "Alright, go then."
Bai Ning Bing quietly took out white form immortal snake.
The white form immortal snake was slender and long, its whole body was covered in snow white scales and it had a graceful physique. Its eyes were like jade, and on the two sides of its head were a pair of long whiskers, floating like celestial ribbons.
It was a rank five mortal Gu and was very attached to Bai Ning Bing, which was likely because it was attracted by her Northern Dark Ice Soul physique.
Bai Ning Bing began to activate her phantom aperture.
The phantom aperture was illusory, but after it was activated, it turned from phantom to real.
Shadow Sect had stolen this method from Heavenly Court and had studied it until fifty to sixty percent completion, as such, it had many flaws.
Because of this, Bai Ning Bing could temporarily possess Gu Immortal strength without undergoing tribulation. So she was only a false immortal.
After leaving Shadow Sect for a period of time, she had not been able to maintain her phantom aperture, causing it to lose many of its effects and have limited periods of use.
Ordinarily, Bai Ning Bing would be in her mortal body, turning into a woman. After her phantom aperture was activated, she would turn into a temporary false immortal, the effect of the mortal Gu would be suppressed at this time and her body would return to that of a man's.
Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, Bai Ning Bing him(her)self felt awkward.
However, among the immortals present, no one joked about it.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was kindhearted, Hei Lou Lan was fierce and ambitious, and did not care about these details, Shi Nu was actually rather nervous, after all, Bai Ning Bing's success or failure would be of huge influence to Shadow Sect's following actions.
Bai Ning Bing began to release his Gu Immortal aura, the white form immortal snake sensed this, its whole body jolted before it gave a long hiss towards the sky.
Its hissing was completely different from the sharp hiss of normal snake species, carrying a resounding and mighty aura.
Then, the white form immortal snake flew under Bai Ning Bing's feet of its own accord, carrying him and flying towards the sky.
Hei Lou Lan, Ying Wu Xie and the rest stood at their spots, looking at this sight.
They could not go as they did not have Bai Xiang's bloodline, and would only make things worse if they went. Everything now depended on Bai Ning Bing.
Fortunately, to raise Bai Ning Bing's success rate, Ying Wu Xie and the rest of the group had gone to Jade Pot Mountain and gave ice soul Immortal Gu to Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing had his first truly owned Immortal Gu.
He looked down while standing on the white form immortal snake's back.
However, when he saw the mountain ranges and the heavy fog, he suddenly recalled a scene back in Bai tribe.
That was his first encounter with the white form immortal snake…
The spirit spring was raging like boiling water.
All of a sudden, the spring water rose up like a tidal wave.
After it reached a certain height, the spirit spring scattered and splashed in all directions. The white form immortal snake flew out.
"I pay respects to Great Immortal!" Bai clan leader emotionally knelt on the ground, and at the same time anxiously urged, "Bai Ning Bing, why are you not kneeling down?"
"I will never kneel before a Gu!" Bai Ning Bing coldly snorted, his body standing upright and tall.
Although the white form immortal snake Gu released an ethereal cold grandeur with heavy killing intent concealed within, Bai Ning Bing was not the least bit afraid. His two blue eyes directly stared at its snake eyes…
"According to the clan's secret records, once a Gu Master obtains approval, the white form immortal snake Gu would fly with the inheritor and open a secret place in the sky."
"So, this so-called secret was Bai Xiang's grotto-heaven. And the condition to receive approval was to become a Gu Immortal."
The question from a long time ago finally cleared up at this time.
"Unknowingly, I have already reached this stage." Bai Ning Bing took a deep breath in, his blue eyes gazing high: "Success or failure does not matter, hehehe, I only hope Bai Xiang grotto-heaven won't be too boring, this trip should be splendid!"
Lang Ya blessed land, inside a secret room in a cloud city.
Fang Yuan lightly let out a breath of air.
In his hand was a dream path mortal Gu that had just been refined, and was still giving off warmth.
His cultivation was still at rank six second heavenly tribulation level and had stopped here for the moment, unable to be raised. Because he had almost annexed all the blessed lands in his memories. There were still some remaining, but he could not annex those blessed lands because of his attainment level.
Ever since he realized that dream realms provided incomparable help to this style of cultivation, he had immersed himself in refining dream path mortal Gu these last days.
These mortal Gu, when paired up with unravel mystery Immortal Gu, could form the immortal killer move unravel dream.
With this killer move, Fang Yuan could easily solve dream realms and unravel them, raising his attainment in many paths.
With unravel dream raising his attainment level, Fang Yuan could annex even more immortal apertures.
After annexing blessed lands, his cultivation level would soar up, causing his battle strength to surge.
After his battle strength surged, killing would become easier and he could obtain even more blessed lands.
It would then form a feedback loop of constant benefits.
Do not bother mentioning bullshit like whether killing is against morality or how it would influence one's reputation, demonic path Gu Immortals were direct and straightforward in this aspect!
Fang Yuan had never thought of himself as a good person.
"The blood battle martial competition should have begun… I should participate a few times, kill a few Gu Immortals and seize their immortal apertures, taking the final step to becoming a rank seven Gu Immortal."
"Although Eastern Sea has City Well, and there are many blessed lands in the well, it is too far away. Moreover, I have already been there once, heaven's will already knows of it."
"It is better to continue refining dream path mortal Gu while killing in the blood battle martial competition, it won't be too late to go after that."
With this idea, Fang Yuan once again entered a dream realm.
Verdant green trees grew in the rugged mountain path.
A merchant caravan was traversing on the mountain path with difficulty.
Fang Yuan was one of the members in the caravan.
In the end, he did not yield and wanted to prove that with his ability, he could defeat his genius A grade aptitude little brother.
He also needed such evidence for himself.
But Gu Yue clan leader did not give him this opportunity.
He personally schemed against Fang Yuan and used some sneaky moves, causing Fang Yuan to suffer an overwhelming defeat.
Finally, he became someone who overestimated his ability, being cast aside and troubled by everyone.
"C grade aptitude does not have any future."
"Even if you won against Gu Yue Fang Zheng, so what? He has A grade aptitude, the future of the whole tribe belongs to him. No, he is our tribe's future!"
"As an elder brother, you truly don't have even a little tolerance, you are actually making things difficult for your little brother."
Winner takes all.
Victory or defeat was decided, right or wrong was thus overturned, black and white was blurred.
Fang Yuan was on the verge of being exiled from the tribe, he could only join a merchant caravan, laboriously working while continuing his cultivation.
"Stop, stop, I am tired. This carriage is too bumpy, let's rest for a while." A young man's voice came from a carriage.
"But young master, we are still a long way from the next village. We have already rested three times on the way, if we rest again, we won't be able to walk out of this mountain before the sky gets dark." A steward of the merchant caravan stood outside the carriage, and spoke with a bowed waist.
Ping.
There was a sharp sound as a lightning whip instantly landed on the steward's body, sending him flying.
"What did you say?"
"This caravan is my clan's, I have complete management rights over it. You lowly servant, you dare to lecture me?"
The carriage's curtain was raised up, and a malevolent looking young Gu Master walked out from within.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die." The steward kowtowed continuously.
The whole caravan stopped.
From ahead came questions: "What is happening behind?"
Questions came from behind as well: "What is going on ahead?"
Feeling countless gazes at him, the young Gu Master frowned, as he shouted: "What are you looking at, you bunch of lazy slaves, if you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes!"
Fang Yuan quickly lowered his head.
"You, yes you!" The young Gu Master suddenly pointed at Fang Yuan, "Come over, kneel down, be a stool for this master. This is your honor, I want to rest outside for a while."
Fang Yuan raised his head, staring at the young Gu Master with pursed lips.
"I won't kneel!"
"What?" The young Gu Master could not believe it, almost thinking he had misheard it.
"What did you say just now? You won't kneel?!" His finger that was pointing at Fang Yuan, was slightly shaking.
His expression was exaggerated, as if he had heard a joke.
"Haha, you won't kneel?! You are an ant-like slave, you still won't kneel?!"
He then heard Fang Yuan's words again——
"No, I won't kneel!"

"Junior, take this move!" Liu Hui shouted, a powerful aura erupting from his whole body.
He raised his arms above his head, a grand radiance rose up from his body and rapidly condensed into a crescent moon in the air.
The crescent moon was thin and long, it was pale white but covered in a grey halo.
"Good! Elder Liu Hui finally got the chance to use his move, grey rock moon!"
"This move is a well known method of Liu Hui."
"That's right. Those that are struck by this move will start solidifying before finally turning into stone. Even their immortal aperture will also be contaminated, turning rocky, it is a truly troublesome move!"
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, righteous path Gu Immortals were discussing with smiles on their faces.
On the demonic path's side, Xue Wu Hen was only illuminated by the grey moonlight for several breaths of time before his expression changed greatly.
He immediately felt the power of this move, and did not dare to be rash as he quickly used an immortal killer move.
Strong cold aura coiled around his whole body, ice and frost attaching to his body. The grey moonlight turned the ice and frost to stone, but the ice and frost regenerated themselves, the grey moonlight was unable to penetrate through them and reach Xue Wu Hen's body.
"What? He actually used an offensive killer move on his own body?"
"Amazing! Xue Wu Hen handled such a complicated thing with ease, he is quite clever! For the moment, he has blocked Old Liu Hui's signature trump card!"
"Go, beat him!"
The immortals in Chu Du's side cheered and applauded loudly.
By contrast, the relaxed mood inside Golden Dawn Hall had now completely dissipated, and a bad feeling rose up in everyone's hearts.
"We are not going to lose to Xue Wu Hen again, right?"
"Even Elder Liu Hui cannot hold him down?"
"Xue Wu Hen is an unknown character, while Elder Liu Hui is a renowned rank six expert!"
As the immortals talked, Xue Wu Hen wore the heavy layer of stone and frost, and charged towards Elder Liu Hui.
"Old geezer, you are so old, what are you doing not resting at home? Just die!"
Xue Wu Hen pushed both his hands forward, instantly a wave of snow and frost rose up in the air.
The righteous path Gu Immortal, Elder Liu Hui, had to maintain the grey crescent moon in the sky, his hands were raised as if he was supporting the sky, he could not move and was directly submerged by this wave of snow.
Xue Wu Hen won!
Liu Hui died!
Everyone was surprised, they had not expected such an outcome.
"Before this battle, Xue Wu Hen had already won two consecutive battles, he was injured and not in his best condition."
"In the previous two battles, he battled against righteous path juniors, and could not kill the opponent. But now in this third battle, he killed Liu Hui."
"The grand Liu Hui actually died at the hands of a nameless demonic path minor character!"
"Heavens, this is unbelievable."
"This person might only have rank six cultivation, but he truly has rank seven battle strength. Where did this guy come from?"
"I can't help but think of Old Ancestor Xue Hu, this Xue Wu Hen is similarly of ice and snow path, he truly resembles Old Ancestor Xue Hu when he was young."
"He is still far from being qualified to compare to Old Ancestor Xue Hu. But three victories in three consecutive battles, his name will spread throughout the whole Gu Immortal world."
Whether it be the righteous path or Chu Du's side, they were both discussing Xue Wu Hen.
"Xiao Jin, don't put your loss to heart. This is not your fault, but the opponent being too strong. He actually killed Liu Hui! Sigh." Ye Lui Hui Hong consoled the young man beside him.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin felt his right arm.
His right arm was currently still in a frozen state, his whole arm had already turned black and blue from the cold, the intense chill was even affecting his bones and blood.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin felt such pain that after his defeat, he returned to the hall and had his head lowered the whole time.
As for Ye Lui Hui Hong's words, he did not seem to have heard them.
Ye Lui Hui Hong saw this, and sighed inwardly: "You are still young. But this setback will be beneficial to you. This shame will make you try harder, who can say what will happen in the future? Maybe your future achievements will be above them. The main thing is to not lose the confidence in yourself."
As he thought of this, Ye Lui Hui Hong gazed at Xue Wu Hen, who was standing alone in the air, and then at Nian Er Ping Zhi who was unable to stay still.
"Can I go fight now?" Nian Er Ping Zhi impatiently transmitted his voice to his senior, Nian Er Yi Fang.
However, Nian Er Yi Fang shook his head: "This person has won three battles, there are many injuries on him and his state is not at its peak. If you kill him, it would be nothing extraordinary, but if you can't kill him, it would instead weaken your prestige. Moreover, the other side is not foolish, why would they let Xue Wu Hen continue fighting?"
Sure enough, the next moment, Chu Du spoke, withdrawing Xue Wu Hen from the battle.
Nian Er Ping Zhi snorted: "Even if he does not battle, I will go up. He won three battles, I will win at least six battles!"
Nian Er Ping Zhi rose up and bowed to Gong Wan Ting: "I request to go to battle!"
Gong Wan Ting's frown relaxed a little.
The righteous path, which should have been victorious, was instead defeated thrice by a nameless character from Chu Du's side.
This was not only a heavy blow to the righteous path Gu Immortals, it harmed their reputation and was also damaging to Gong Wan Ting's prestige.
Gong Wan Ting knew Nian Er Ping Zhi was Nian Er tribe's current generation Sword Child, she naturally had no reason to not permit him.
Nian Er Ping Zhi took the stage, and shouted: "Who wants to die?"
The rising morale of Chu Du's side immediately stifled.
"Careful, don't be fooled by this kid's rank six cultivation, he can kill rank sevens."
"He made outstanding battle achievements in the battle of Iron Eagle blessed land, he is also extremely savage, killing multiple Gu Immortals."
"Even Old Monster Corpse Poison could not do anything about him."
"He is the current inheritor of Sword Saint Nian Er's true inheritance, he naturally is not ordinary."
Chu Du's side was silent.
Facing Nian Er Ping Zhi's challenge, there was actually no one who dared to accept for a period of time.
"Youngsters at the moment, each of them truly are fiercer than the other." Chu Du stroked his forehead.
"Big brother Chu, let me go handle him." Xue Wu Hen requested.
How could Chu Du permit it.
He already saw Xue Wu Hen's weak state, not only were there injuries on his body, many areas of his immortal aperture had even turned into rocks, causing losses to many resources, as a result of Elder Liu Hui's immortal killer move.
"Relax, I have already made arrangements to deal with Ping Zhi." Chu Du smiled, assuring Xue Wu Hen.
"Granny Yin, I will hand this battle to you." Chu Du spoke to a black robed Gu Immortal behind him.
This Gu Immortal with a hunched back was holding a walking stick, and had been silent the whole time.
Hearing Chu Du's words, terrifyingly bony hands stretched out of the wide sleeves and lifted up the hood, revealing an old, crooked face.
"Hehehe, let this old woman love you tenderly." Granny Yin flew to the battle, and stared at the young Nian Er Ping Zhi with her turbid yellow eyes, which flickered with dangerous light.
"What, she is the rank seven demonic Gu Immortal Granny Yin."
"Chu Du is shameless, our side's Nian Er Ping Zhi is only a rank six Gu Immortal, they are actually sending a higher rank expert famous in Northern Plains!"
"This won't do, call back Nian Er Ping Zhi." Nian Er Yi Fang was also very anxious.
Nian Er Ping Zhi was a future star of Nian Er tribe who was heavily nurtured, and Nian Er Yi Fang was in charge of his safety in this trip. If he died here, Nian Er Yi Fang would have greatly neglected his duty.
However, Nian Er Ping Zhi's fighting intent burned even stronger when facing a strong opponent.
He howled towards the sky, and disregarding the crazed voice transmission of Nian Er Yi Fang, he turned into an incomparably sharp sword light that charged towards Granny Yin!
Snowy Mountain, first peak.
"Now that I mention it, you need to be thankful to me. Haven't you discovered, your cultivation has risen and is going to reach rank five." Lady Wan Shou said to Ma Hong Yun, while holding a ball of lightning.
Ma Hong Yun shouted madly and hysterically: "You insane lunatic! You still want to shock me, you have tormented me so many times, you still want to continue! I don't want this cultivation, please let me go."
Lady Wan Shou sneered: "Impossible."
She then sent out the ball of lightning.
Crack crack crack!
Ma Hong Yun's whole body shook, his eyes rolled over, his mouth occasionally opened wide, occasionally pursed up and occasionally turned into 'O' shape, but all the time, he was shouting.
"Ahhh ooooohhhh arrghhhh…"
He screamed until the lightning completely dissipated.
"Failed again, this guy!" Lady Wan Shou's face looked extremely gloomy, she fiercely slapped Ma Hong Yun's cheek.
Ma Hong Yun instantly fainted from the slap.
Central Continent, Spirit Affinity House.
Heavy rain poured down, causing the sky to darken.
Zhao Lian Yun was drenched, her vision was blurry and intense dizziness was threatening to make her unconscious.
But she firmly held on, using every bit of strength in her body.
Although she was an otherworldly demon with memories of a previous world, she did not have much understanding of the upper levels of the Gu world, especially of the mindsets of Gu Immortals, whom she had rarely been able to associate with.
As far as she was concerned, this was the only way to save Ma Hong Yun.
"This otherworldly demon is indeed somewhat foolish." Li Jun Ying had been observing secretly.
Xu Hao shook his head: "I also had not expected her to be so persistent. It has already been over ten days now."
Li Jun Ying turned back and looked at her husband: "Have you thought about it, Feng Jin Huang can use this to make a countering scheme against us, requesting Zhao Lian Yun to give up on contending for the position of fairy, and then she will help save her lover?"
Xu Hao smiled: "How could that be? According to Feng Jin Huang's nature, she absolutely would not be able to do such a thing. These two are still young."
Inside a dream, Southern Border.
"Owww, it hurts, it hurts!" Fang Yuan screamed in pain.
"Kid, you know pain now? If you had knelt, you would not have had to experience this pain." A middle-aged man with a big beard was holding a Gu worm in his hand, healing Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan raised his head and clenched his right fist: "Uncle, what are you saying? A man only kneels to their parents, heaven and earth, how can we kneel at someone's order?! Even if I die, I won't kneel!"
"Not cherishing life, it seems healing you was completely in vain. I should not have done it." Big Beard suddenly became moody.
"Hmph, I didn't ask you to heal me!" Fang Yuan endured the pain and stood up, walking out of this tent without looking back.
However, he fell down to the ground after taking just a few steps. The intense pain sent him unconscious.
When he woke up again, he found he was still inside Big Beard's tent.
"Oh you, you are still too young." Big Beard took a gulp of wine: "I have healed half of your injuries, and have left the other half as a lesson."
Fang Yuan grumbled, weakly retorting: "Uncle, thank you. But I have told you, this is not about being young, this is a matter of principles!"

Chapter 1196: Sword Heart Clarity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Above Blood Plain.
Nian Er Ping Zhi and Granny Yin's battle had attracted everyone's attention.
Granny Yin was a veteran demonic path Gu Immortal, she cultivated soul path and possessed bewitching soul Immortal Gu, and her reputation had already been established long ago in Northern Plains.
She moved like a ghost, gloomy winds surged and vengeful souls moved around her, sending chills down people's hearts.
And Nian Er Ping Zhi was a shining member of the righteous path's younger generation, the current Sword Child of Nian Er tribe, his movement was quick and his sword moved like lightning.
Both sides had exchanged dozens of moves, at first they probed each other with mortal killer moves, then they used Immortal Gu, then immortal killer moves, and now the battle was at a very heated stage.
On the field, dark souls had covered most of the sky.
And the white sword light representing Nian Er Ping Zhi was already surrounded, despite it charging everywhere and the dark souls moving away, the overall flow of the battle was dictated by Granny Yin.
"Granny Yin is indeed a demonic path expert, the way she fights is steady and full of experience." Immortal Wang praised.
Chu Du, however, frowned, silent.
He was inwardly thinking: "Granny Yin is a rank seven Gu Immortal, but she was not able to immediately kill Nian Er Ping Zhi. Even though the situation looks more inclined towards her, Nian Er Ping Zhi's sword light is still rampaging around without the slightest of hesitation. He still is thinking of winning!"
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, seeing his tribe's shining hope, a sword path genius, falling into disadvantage, Nian Er Yi Fang was becoming nervous, staring at the battle without blinking.
If the situation looked bad, he would immediately make a move and save Nian Er Ping Zhi.
No matter the rules or reputation, as far as Nian Er tribe was concerned, Nian Er Ping Zhi being alive was most important!
"Hehehehe… such a tender body, you have nowhere to dodge now, accept your death!" A change suddenly happened at this instance.
Countless vengeful ghosts suddenly covered all directions, as they surrounded the sword light that Nian Er Ping Zhi had transformed into.
Then, Granny Yin revealed her true body from amidst the countless dark souls, stretching out her withered finger and pointing at Nian Er Ping Zhi from afar.
Immortal killer move — Bewitching Soul Art!
Nian Er Ping Zhi's eyes immediately lost their light, the freely moving nimble sword light completely dissipated and turned into his true body.
He was floating in the air like his mind had halted, not having the slightest bit of reaction to the charging Granny Yin.
"Hehehe!" Granny Yin laughed in satisfaction. She opened her mouth wide, revealing her sparse yellow teeth.
Her hand suddenly enlarged by many times, dark wind coiled around her five fingers, her nails as sharp as needles. The fan-like hand descended on Nian Er Ping Zhi's head.
If this attack were to land true, Nian Er Ping Zhi's skull would no doubt be crushed under his defenseless state.
"Stop it!" Nian Er Yi Fang shouted as he rushed out of Golden Dawn Hall.
However, Chu Du had already made prior arrangements.
He saw that Granny Yin was firmly grasping the battle situation, and had already considered if she were to make a killing strike towards Nian Er Ping Zhi, she would surely be obstructed by the righteous path Gu Immortals.
Therefore, he had already arranged his forces to lie in wait.
Sure enough, when Nian Er Yi Fang rushed out, Hao Zhen moved out shortly after.
"Shameless fellow, you are interfering in a one on one battle?" Hao Zhen shot out a bolt of lightning right at Nian Er Yi Fang's face.
Nian Er Yi Fang slightly shook, and emerald wooden armor appeared, covering his whole body firmly.
This wooden armor was Nian Er Yi Fang's immortal killer move, and it had extremely powerful defense. Regardless of how sharp Hao Zhen's lightning was, it could not even make a dent on the wooden armor, instead the wooden armor seemed to be rejuvenated as it produced fresh yellow and green leaves, like it had received many benefits.
Chu Du immediately gave out a light gasp.
He was surprised.
What made Chu Du surprised was not Nian Er Yi Fang's wooden armor, as his wooden armor was already famous in Northern Plains and was his self-created immortal killer move — Sick Tree Spring Armor.
Instead, it was that Nian Er Yi Fang had rushed out madly to save Nian Er Ping Zhi.
However, by using this move and blocking off Hao Zhen's lightning, he had missed the best opportunity to save Nian Er Ping Zhi.
Chu Du considered what he would do in Nian Er Yi Fang's position, his tribe's genius, a star of the younger generation, was at risk of losing his life, while he himself could choose to either block the lightning or move to protect Nian Er Ping Zhi's life.
But right now, Nian Er Yi Fang had chosen to protect himself. This action meant he did not feel it was urgent to save Nian Er Ping Zhi.
What was going on?
"Oh no!" Chu Du's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly looked at the battle.
He was just about to warn Granny Yin, but it was already too late.
The sluggish looking Nian Er Ping Zhi suddenly let out extremely sharp, mysterious light from his eyes.
This change immediately froze Granny Yin's ecstatic laughter.
Granny Yin's mind sent out warnings of danger, she wanted to get back to defend herself but it was already late.
An extremely stunning sword light flashed!
Life and death, victory and loss, were determined within this moment of time.
The dark souls were still hovering around, but Granny Yin was already starting to fall down, cut into two by the sword light.
She was gazing at Nian Er Ping Zhi with an incredulous look on her face, unable to think of how he had suddenly gotten free from her signature trump card.
"Bewitching soul art is Granny Yin's proudest method, which she used when she roamed Northern Plains, but it was actually ineffective against Nian Er Ping Zhi?" Chu Du and his group of immortals paled in shock.
"What's going on?" Inside Golden Dawn Hall, the righteous path Gu Immortals were both surprised and joyous.
"This is sword heart clarity, it is an immortal killer move in Sword Saint true inheritance, especially used to restrict wisdom path and other similar methods. Few of the Sword Childs in history could use it." Nian Er Yi Fang laughed heartily, not giving up this chance to increase Nian Er tribe's prestige.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin could not help thinking: "Is he saying Nian Er Ping Zhi is outstanding even when placed among all the Sword Childs in history?"
He was a genius of Ye Lui tribe, but unfortunately had lost to Xue Wu Hen.
On the contrary, Nian Er Ping Zhi had killed the rank seven demonic path expert Granny Yin. Comparing the two, it was clear for everyone who was better and who was worse.
"This Nian Er Yi Fang is truly crafty. He clearly knew Nian Er Ping Zhi's situation was of no concern, but still pretended to rush out in panic to save Nian Er Ping Zhi." Chou Lao Wu mumbled behind Chu Du, feeling indignant.
One had to say Nian Er Yi Fang had acted really well.
Because of his acting, the Gu Immortals of both sides had subconsciously thought Nian Er Ping Zhi was in absolute danger.
Even Granny Yin was deceived.
"No, maybe it was Granny Yin who was too confident in her immortal killer move bewitching soul art." Chu Du assessed internally: "And this Nian Er Ping Zhi is also not just a brutish person, he actually pretended to be struck by the ability, deceiving Granny Yin. The killer move he used to kill Granny Yin is also not simple, it is terrifyingly powerful and also extremely fast, it is virtually impossible to guard against. It should be one sword life, an immortal killer move used by Sword Saint Nian Er in his younger days!"
"Come back quickly." Nian Er Yi Fang was in high spirits, but quickly and anxiously transmitted his voice to Nian Er Ping Zhi.
Nian Er Ping Zhi had killed Granny Yin, but he had also suffered heavy injuries.
He quickly retreated, but before leaving, he naturally brought the two halves of Granny Yin's body with him.
One half of the corpse had Granny Yin's immortal aperture.
This was Nian Er Ping Zhi's spoils of battle.
Chu Sect did not stop him, this was one of the rules stated in the competition agreement.
It was like when Xue Wu Hen who had stored away Gu Immortal Liu Hui's corpse.
However, Xue Wu Hen might have won three battles, but he only killed the rank six Gu Immortal Liu Hui. While Nian Er Ping Zhi might have only won one battle, but he took a rank seven demonic path Gu Immortal, Granny Yin's, life.
Thus, the righteous path's side was slightly leading.
Chu Du was feeling the pressure.
The slight dominance brought by Xue Wu Hen had now been balanced out by Nian Er Ping Zhi.
"Who should I send in this next battle?"
Chu Du was hesitating.
Soon, the result of this battle reached Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was still in Lang Ya blessed land, cultivating.
"Nian Er Ping Zhi killed Granny Yin?" Fang Yuan was only slightly surprised before he accepted this fact.
There were many genius experts who were able to achieve the feat of winning against rank seven with rank six cultivation.
But using rank seven cultivation to fight rank eight was extremely rare.
Nian Er Ping Zhi… Fang Yuan did not have any impression of this person in his memories. After all, in his first life, Fang Yuan was still a mortal around this time, and was not at all aware of the events in the Gu Immortal world or Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world.
What made Fang Yuan more interested was instead Xue Wu Hen.
Precisely speaking, it was the loot in Xue Wu Hen's possession — that Gu Immortal, Liu Hui's, blessed land.
"Gu Immortal Liu Hui is an earth path Gu Immortal who has gone through two heavenly tribulations, his blessed land is suitable for me to annex. With this, my cultivation can also rise and reach rank seven."
As he thought of this, Fang Yuan immediately wrote a reply.
He took the initiative to request for Chu Du's help in expressing his intention of buying the immortal aperture from Xue Wu Hen.
As for the invitation of Chu Du asking Fang Yuan to help, Fang Yuan used the reason of being in secluded cultivation to delay in a roundabout way.
"I need to raise my cultivation to rank seven first, it won't be too late to join this blood battle martial competition then."
Fang Yuan slightly shook his head, throwing the news of this blood battle martial competition to the back of his mind.
The Chu Sect alliance agreement he had was rather lenient. Even if Chu Sect was annihilated, Fang Yuan could choose not to show up and it would not be a problem.
Fang Yuan prioritized raising his cultivation, all the other things were secondary.
Chu Du received Fang Yuan's reply.
Fang Yuan did not come, which made Chu Du frown.
"Sigh, if Elder Liu Guan Yi could come, I would not be in this difficult spot." Chu Du heaved a sigh.
Xue Wu Hen was standing beside Chu Du, and curiously asked when he heard Chu Du: "Hearing Brother Chu's tone, it seems you hold this Elder Liu Guan Yi in high esteem."
Chu Du laughed: "He had mentioned you in his letter, hoping you can sell Liu Hui's immortal aperture to him."
Xue Wu Hen shook his head: "I could not get Liu Hui's Immortal Gu, but the resources inside the immortal aperture are my battle spoils. I don't know their value, so how can I sell them?"
His intention of refusal was extremely obvious.

Chapter 1197: Sword Dragon Transformation

Chu Du smiled.
Deep down, Xue Wu Hen was someone he wanted to recruit to his Chu Sect, so he had been giving him a lot of consideration.
However, Fang Yuan was his collaboration partner, later on he would have to get Reckless Savage's true meaning from Fang Yuan to raise his strength path attainment.
Chu Du was well aware of which was more important.
"In his letter, Liu Guan Yi entrusted me to accomplish this matter." Chu Du thought to himself, while transmitting his voice to Xue Wu Hen, "Brother Xue, collaborating with Elder Liu Guan Yi is probably your best choice to get the resources in Liu Hui's aperture."
"How so?" Xue Wu Hen asked doubtfully.
"Because Elder Liu has an upper extreme heavenly eagle. This eagle can go into blessed lands, it is better for you take away the resources in the immortal aperture and give the immortal aperture to Elder Liu, making him add on some resources as the price. Isn't this a win-win situation?" Chu Du replied.
Xue Wu Hen's eyes brightened.
"Upper extreme heavenly eagle?! I have also heard of this immemorial beast, I did not expect Elder Liu Guan Yi to have such a rare bird."
Pausing for a while, Xue Wu Hen continued his voice transmission: "I am willing to transact with Elder Liu!"
Right as Fang Yuan's plan was about to succeed, a change happened.
A Gu Immortal walked out of Golden Dawn Hall.
"It is a Liu tribe Gu Immortal, Liu Zhuan Shen!" Immortal Wang immediately recognized this person.
"He is coming down to fight?" Chu Du's side cast their gazes.
However, Liu Zhuan Shen did not go to the stage, instead stopped at the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall: "Lord Domination Immortal, my side is willing to use Granny Yin's corpse to exchange for Elder Liu Hui's corpse and soul."
Liu Hui's corpse had ended up in enemy hands, Liu tribe's Gu Immortals naturally were not willing to see such a scene.
The corpse was still alright, the main thing was the soul.
Liu Hui's soul had not been destroyed.
Therefore, Liu tribe's Gu Immortals wanted to get back Liu Hui's corpse and soul no matter what.
However, Liu Zhuan Shen did not have enough bargaining chips on him, and was also afraid that the other side would be very greedy and recklessly extort them, if so, then the situation would be quite awkward and they would be put on the spot.
So, Liu Zhuan Shen and the other Liu tribe Gu Immortals felt anxious, but did not make a rash move.
After Nian Er Ping Zhi killed Granny Yin, Liu tribe's Gu Immortals saw hope in this matter.
Liu Zhuan Shen had thus communicated with Nian Er tribe, and after giving up many benefits, had exchanged for Granny Yin's corpse.
An immortal aperture was inside Granny Yin's corpse, and for the moment, was unharmed.
It was only that Granny Yin's soul was already destroyed by Nian Er Ping Zhi. Nian Er Ping Zhi had a tough victory and simply was unable to hold back.
Granny Yin's soul was completely destroyed by the immortal killer move one sword life.
However, as far as Liu tribe's Gu Immortals were concerned, Granny Yin was rank seven while Liu Hui was only rank six, this transaction was very likely to be accomplished.
Chu Du's side heard these words, and there was immediately a stir among them, as they began to whisper to each other.
Chu Du inwardly exclaimed: "Amazing, this Liu Zhuan Shen has quite the ability, putting me in such a spot."
Chu Du did not have to turn around to sense the disturbance among the Gu Immortals behind him.
Granny Yin moved alone and had few relations with other Gu Immortals, most of her relationships were even hostile. Granny Yin had come this time only because of Chu Du's prestige and the rewards.
However, Chu Du knew these Gu Immortals behind him hoped the two sides could exchange the corpses.
The reason was that this blood battle martial competition had just begun, in the following battles, there might be Gu Immortals whose bodies and souls would perish in battle.
If that was the case, so be it, since there was no body nor soul.
But if they lost their life and their soul was left behind in the enemy's hands, what could they do?
Under such a situation, they could only rely on their side's Gu Immortals to help retrieve their soul.
"If I agree to Liu Zhuan Shen's request, I can stabilize these Gu Immortals' mindsets and lessen their worries. Otherwise, the morale will probably lower which can seriously impact the following battles."
Chu Du understood the importance of this matter.
Most of the members of Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe were lone immortals or demonic cultivators. They were not well united to begin with, they only took this risk because of the reputations of Domination Immortal and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, as well as the rewards.
If Chu Du were to refuse now, these Gu Immortals would probably be self-conscious and be on guard against each other.
Chu Du hesitated for a while, apologizing to Liu Guan Yi inwardly, before he spoke, agreeing to this transaction.
Liu Zhuan Shen was joyous, both sides exchanged the corpses.
Xue Wu Hen had lost a rank six earth path immortal aperture and Gu Immortal soul, but obtained a rank seven soul path immortal aperture. While Chu Du had also secretly made it up to him with some snow path killer moves.
So, he was quite happy with this result.
Anyway, even if he interrogated Liu Hui's soul and obtained earth path killer moves, they would be useless to him.
After both sides exchanged the corpses, Gong Wan Ting also saw the importance of this matter, and took the initiative to negotiate with Chu Du.
Because of this event, both sides had thus conveniently added a rule in the blood battle martial competition regarding the exchange of corpses and soul captives.
After a delay of half a day, both sides engaged in another battle.
Chu Du's side sent a Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal, it was the previous Hei tribe supreme elder. The actual Bai Zu bloodline members were still being taken care of.
Before this trip, Chu Du had received Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's instructions to protect as many Bai Zu tribe descendants as possible.
Because of this setback, Fang Yuan's plan went down the drain.
Not long later, he received Chu Du's letter, the letter explained the reason in detail. Chu Du's tone was polite and even apologized to Fang Yuan for not fulfilling what he was entrusted with.
Fang Yuan understood Chu Du's difficulty.
He was standing in a Gu refinement secret room, mumbling to himself: "I don't have a use for a soul path immortal aperture. It seems I still have to make a move personally and seize the immortal aperture that I want, and advance to rank seven."
However, there were many forces in the blood battle martial competition, although Fang Yuan had familiar face, he still needed some new offensive methods.
After all, he had proclaimed to the outside world that he was a transformation path Gu Immortal.
"I have flying bear strength Immortal Gu, but the power of the flying bear transformation is quite poor."
"Fortunately, I have been considering this beforehand and have many possible solutions now!"
Fang Yuan's gaze landed on the dragon corpse in front of him.
This was a desolate beast.
Its whole body was shining with silvery light, its horn was sharp as a spear, its eyes were pure white, its fangs and claws looked fearsome, many layers of scales covered its body emitting metallic luster.
This was a silver colored dragon.
The whole body was twenty feet long, its body was slender and its shape was fluid and graceful. It was like a piece of art, but it emitted a dense cold feeling of sharpness, as if anyone who got close to it would be pierced through by the surrounding air.
This was not a false feeling, but it was because this silver dragon with two claws was originally a sword path desolate beast—— Sword Dragon.
Now, it was already dead, its sword path dao marks were gradually dissipating, merging into the surrounding environment.
This was the transformation Fang Yuan had prepared to cultivate ——Sword Dragon Transformation!
"The killer move sword dragon transformation needs dragon scale Gu, dragon horn Gu, dragon claw Gu, dragon eyes Gu, and so on. If any one of the Gu worms is an Immortal Gu, then it becomes an immortal killer move."
"But I have change form Immortal Gu, this Gu is one of the core essences of transformation path. Thus, I don't need to refine immortal level dragon scale Gu, dragon horn Gu, dragon claw Gu or dragon eyes Gu, and only need to refine the mortal Gu versions, and use change form Immortal Gu as the core, to form immortal killer move sword dragon transformation."
Transformation path killer moves were extremely simple.
It could even be said to be rudimentary.
This was one of the advantages of cultivating transformation path.
Immortal killer moves of other paths were not easy to deduce, but transformation path was completely different in this aspect.
Adding on that Fang Yuan himself was a wisdom path grandmaster, not only did he successfully deduced the contents of sword dragon transformation, but also improved on many aspects, making the transformation faster and nimbler.
Naturally, Gu Immortal Han Dong had a contribution in this.
He was a transformation path Gu Immortal who specialized in cultivating spirit snake transformation.
A dragon had a similar body shape and battle style. Although Han Dong died and his soul had dissipated, he had left behind a land spirit which retained some of Han Dong's cultivation insights, it was enough for Fang Yuan to take as a reference.
He started activating the Gu refinement formation and began to refine this desolate beast sword dragon.
The desolate beast sword dragon was full of sword path dao marks and in itself was an immortal material which could be refined into Immortal Gu.
However, Fang Yuan's refinement path attainment was not particularly high, and with just this sword dragon, the immortal materials to refine the relevant Immortal Gu were also not sufficient, so Fang Yuan was refining only mortal Gu to support change form Immortal Gu.
The refinement process went rather smoothly.
Fang Yuan himself was a Gu Immortal and was using precious immortal materials to refine some rank five mortal Gu, the success rate was naturally extremely high and could even be said to be quite easy.
Some days later.
Fang Yuan stood still and took in a deep breath, his mind was still. Suddenly, thoughts surged up like a storm, as Gu worms started activating one after the other.
In just a breath of time, Fang Yuan's whole body emitted piercing silvery radiance.
After the silver light dissipated, an elegant and exquisite silver sword dragon that was emitting a feeling of sharpness appeared.
The sword dragon's eyes were white, but they flashed with intelligence.
It was Fang Yuan!
"Immortal killer move sword dragon transformation has already been refined. Next…"
Fang Yuan began to get familiar with his body, brandishing his claws and fangs, or flying in the sky.
His practice drills went quite decently, it was because he had already begun cultivating transformation path. Not only the flying bear transformation, many times, he had used change form Immortal Gu to transform into all kinds of appearances, although they had not reached mastery, he could be said to be familiar with them.
After thoroughly getting familiar with this form, Fang Yuan began to test the might of this immortal killer move.
First was the expenditure of immortal essence.
Very little.
The expenditure of green grape immortal essence to maintain the sword dragon transformation was not high. After all, it only involved rank six change form Immortal Gu.
Next was his battle strength.
Fang Yuan had already arranged immortal materials in front of him.
First was a piece of hundred years profound ice, he swept at it with his claws, Fang Yuan felt like he had sliced into tofu, he easily smashed this profound ice into pieces.
Next, Fang Yuan moved to the subterranean adamantite and clawed at it!
Subterranean adamantite was among the hardest rank six immortal materials, it immediately showed a clear claw marking that reached a few inches deep.
Fang Yuan was immediately aware of the limit of the power of his dragon claws, he did not need to test it on the rank seven immortal material at the side.

Chapter 1198: Dragon Breath
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu are the essence of heaven and earth, man is the spirit of all living beings.
Human intelligence was the highest among all the living beings. However, the way of heaven was to have balance, humans were highest in intelligence, but their bodies were extremely fragile.
Humans did not have sharp claws, fur, wings, or gills.
The strength of humans might not be the weakest but it was at the bottom tier. They were fundamentally unable to contest with typical desolate beasts.
Human skin was no different from paper compared to desolate beasts.
However, when Fang Yuan transformed into a desolate beast sword dragon, he obtained the qualities of a sword dragon. Although there was still a difference from a true sword dragon, he was already far beyond the limits of humans.
The initial concept when transformation path was created was —
Study all living beings and add the advantages of those beings to one's own body.
Humans did not have sharp claws, so transform human fingers into claws. Humans did not have fur, so transform one's hair into fur.
If one is without wings, then create wings, and fly like the birds in the sky. If one has no gills, transform into a fish, and swim in the depths of the sea.
Naturally, by the current era, the concept of transformation path was not limited to just this.
Using one path to project every path had become transformation path's main principle, imitating the advantages of other paths.
As time passed, there were bound to be improvements.
The wheels of history would keep on turning forward.
Ever since Reckless Savage Demon Venerable created transformation path, this path had not declined and was passed down throughout human history, moreover, new ideas replaced the old, causing it to thrive even now.
Fang Yuan lightly stretched out his dragon body, flying to the rank seven immortal material.
This was a giant dark inkstone, among rank seven immortal materials, it was considered very firm and had the characteristic of being difficult to process.
His dragon claws slashed at it, but were unable to leave any trace.
Fang Yuan had already expected this, thus he did not use only his claws, instead, he turned his body and suddenly whipped his tail!
Ping.
A sharp sound resounded as the dragon tail fiercely whipped at the dark inkstone.
Pain could be felt from the dragon tail, causing Fang Yuan to take a sharp breath of cold air.
While on the dark inkstone's surface, a thin crack appeared.
Just based on the dragon tail's whip, it was more menacing than the claws.
This was an attribute of the sword dragon.
Many dragons' characteristics differed in subtle aspects.
Some dragons had extremely sharp fangs, their strong bite power surpassing the power of their claws and tail. Some dragons were better at ripping, their claws were their most powerful weapons.
And the sword dragon was slender and nimble, the power of its tail surpassed its two small claws.
And above the power of its tail was the sword dragon's speed.
Fang Yuan had already practiced it, the sword dragon was not powerful in long distance attacks, but its burst of speed from an unmoving state was impressive.
Although it could not compare to sword escape Immortal Gu, it was not inferior to Fang Yuan's blood path movement killer move — Blood Torrent.
Moreover, because it was the sword dragon's own innate movement speed, Fang Yuan could change directions much more nimbly than blood torrent, and it was much easier to maneuver as well.
And the sword dragon's strongest weapon was its dragon breath.
Dragons could breathe out attacks.
This was almost an innate ability of any dragon.
It was like the upper extreme heavenly eagle, having the innate ability to penetrate space and enter blessed lands and grotto-heavens. It was just that the dragon's breath was a very common ability, while the upper extreme heavenly eagle's ability was rare.
Upper extreme heavenly eagles were very rare, rank eight Gu Immortal Hei Fan had also obtained one through a fortuitous encounter. Besides him, no one had obtained another upper extreme heavenly eagle in Hei tribe's history.
Whoosh!
Fang Yuan tested his dragon breath.
In an instant, a white light flashed and shot at the rank six immortal material subterranean adamantite.
The subterranean adamantite shook lightly before the dragon breath disappeared, the whole process was very fast, it was as if nothing had occurred.
But the next moment, changes started to slowly appear in the subterranean adamantite, a clear crack appeared on the subterranean adamantite, the whole crack was incomparably straight, going from top to bottom in a slightly inclined angle.
The subterranean adamantite was split into two by this thin crack. Then, due to the subterranean adamantite's enormous weight, the two halves fell down.
Bam bam, two consecutive muffled sounds echoed.
The boulder sized subterranean adamantite had split into two and fallen to the ground.
The cut surface was smooth, like it was directly split by the sharpest weapon in the world.
Fang Yuan's dragon claws could only leave behind marks a few inches deep. But his dragon breath was incomparably sharp, cutting down this giant subterranean adamantite into two!
It had to be known that subterranean adamantite was considered among the hardest rank six immortal materials.
The might of the sword dragon's breath could be seen from this.
Despite Fang Yuan being mentally prepared, upon seeing the two halves of the subterranean adamantite, he could not help slightly nodding his dragon head in satisfaction.
Next, he continued to test.
He used his dragon breath on the rank seven immortal material dark inkstone.
Dark inkstone was even firmer than subterranean adamantite, the dragon breath was like sword light, cutting open marks several inches deep on the dark inkstone.
Fang Yuan continuously breathed it out sixteen times before he reached his limit.
For a short period of time, he would not be able to send out his dragon breath, he felt like a traveler in a desert who had not drank water for over half a month, his throat was extremely dry. If he tried to use dragon breath any more, he had the feeling he would destroy his throat.
Consecutively using dragon breath sixteen times changed the appearance of the whole dark inkstone. There were sword marks everywhere on it, it looked somewhat scary.
After resting for some time, Fang Yuan felt he had recovered to some degree.
He breathed out again, sure enough, he used the seventeenth dragon breath!
Fang Yuan engraved this duration in his mind.
He was continuously estimating: 'With just my own strength, I can use dragon breath sixteen times in a row. After resting for about five minutes, I will recover and can continue to breathe it out. But it is just barely possible, and after breathing out the seventeenth dragon breath, I will once again fall into the previous plight and will still need to rest for five minutes of time."
"If I add some dragon breath mortal Gu in this, I should be able to increase the amount of times I can use dragon breath."
Fang Yuan had not yet combined dragon breath Gu in this sword dragon transformation immortal killer move.
Dragon breath Gu was quite difficult to refine.
This was because the material to refine this Gu worm was the breath of dragons.
This dragon Fang Yuan obtained was dead, he had waited for a long time in treasure yellow heaven before he found someone selling it, and he had to pay a considerable price to buy it.
Only a living dragon could send its breath out, which could then be used as material to refine dragon breath Gu.
Naturally, if the Gu recipe was modified and other materials were used to substitute for dragon breath, it could be done. But Fang Yuan clearly did not have such ability.
Besides a living sword dragon, other living dragons also could be used to refine dragon breath Gu.
However, such a dragon breath Gu might be the same in name, but would have some slight differences. Although it could be used, some other mortal Gu had to be added in to remove the differences.
Transformation path was somewhat particular about this aspect.
Thus, Fang Yuan had specifically refined all the required Gu like dragon scale Gu, dragon claw Gu and so on from the sword dragon's corpse.
By using these Gu worms, he could much more quickly and conveniently activate the immortal killer move, sword dragon transformation.
The testing of the killer move was finished, the results were in line with Fang Yuan's expectations.
He had pondered deeply about choosing sword dragon transformation, and he had deduced these results in detail prior to this.
"With just a rank six Immortal Gu as the core, sword dragon transformation has a certain level of battle strength, but it is still not enough against rank seven Gu Immortals."
Normally speaking, rank seven Gu Immortals had defensive methods that were stronger than dark inkstone.
Fang Yuan used the strongest weapon of his sword dragon transformation, dragon breath, but was only able to deform this dark inkstone.
This sword dragon transformation was not sufficient for display in the blood battle martial competition.
Fang Yuan was well aware of this.
He naturally had follow-up methods.
Cancelling his transformation, he flew out of his cloud city and soon arrived in front of Lang Ya land spirit.
Fang Yuan directly expressed his intent: "Greetings to first supreme elder, I am here to exchange for sect contribution points."
Lang Ya land spirit's eyes flashed with joy, he knew Fang Yuan had obtained Hei Fan grotto-heaven, had the status of an inheritor of Thieving Heaven, wrecked Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and definitely had many good things in his hands.
And for Lang Ya Sect to develop, it naturally needed better and more precious cultivation resources.
However, Lang Ya land spirit could not force other Gu Immortals to hand over their resources, this would conflict with their interests, and Lang Ya Sect would then fall apart.
"It is good you have such thoughts." Lang Ya land spirit was greatly interested, "What do you want to contribute to the sect this time?"
"First, take a look at this." Fang Yuan brought out an item.
"A Gu Immortal's soul?" Lang Ya land spirit frowned, souls of Gu Immortals could be treated as a type of immortal material, and had more value if they were of a soul path Gu Immortal. There was even more value in the cultivation memories in the Gu Immortal's soul.
Gu Immortal souls were naturally not common.
Many Gu Immortals had methods to detonate their soul, Shadow Sect were most adept in this. Back then, when Feng Jiu Ge had battled Qin Bai Sheng before he recovered his memories, he had sensed the latter had a powerful soul detonation method, and thus let go of Qin Bai Sheng, not willing to fight to such a desperate extent.
When Gu Immortals battle, it would not be easy for them to hold back. Just like when Nian Er Ping Zhi killed Granny Yin, he directly destroyed her soul.
Lang Ya land spirit accepted this Gu Immortal soul, but he found this soul was already tampered with by Fang Yuan and could no longer be soul searched, only being used as immortal material.
"Like this, this Gu Immortal soul can only exchange for a hundred contribution points." Lang Ya land spirit said with slight disappointment.
Fang Yuan, however, smiled: "No, I think the price can be slightly higher. We can place this Gu Immortal soul in Dang Hun Mountain and turn it into guts Gu. Gu Immortal souls are extraordinary, they are supreme goods, this will definitely turn into a large sum of guts Gu. Recently, we have not been able to increase the production of guts Gu, with this Gu Immortal soul, we can definitely satisfy the rockman tribe's requests."
Lang Ya land spirit came to a realization and nodded: "It is indeed true."
He estimated the price again and said: "This rank six Gu Immortal soul can be considered as two hundred and ten sect contribution points then."
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
Fang Yuan nodded in agreement.
This price was fair, the value of the Gu Immortal soul had increased because of guts Gu.
Since the four races alliance was set, the rockman tribe below the northern icy plain requested for a large amount of guts Gu as they had an extremely urgent need for them.
However, guts Gu had always been sold at a fixed price in treasure yellow heaven. This price could not be reduced, after all, they had to consider the long term.
Currently, although the rockman tribe's relation with Lang Ya Sect was close, most of the guts Gu were still sold at treasure yellow heaven.
Because of the monopoly on guts Gu, they could not only exchange guts Gu for immortal essence stones, but also exchange for many immortal materials and other resources.
In the resource-scarce northern icy plain, the payment the rockman tribe could provide was not able to satisfy Lang Ya Sect's development requirements.
For the benefit of the whole sect, Lang Ya land spirit would not make the rockman tribe the main trade partner.
The rockman tribe was dissatisfied but had no choice regarding this.
In short, the production of guts Gu was far from enough to meet the demand in the market. Especially in regards to Southern Border, because of the righteous path Gu Immortals exploring the giant dream realm repeatedly, they had excessive demands for the guts Gu in treasure yellow heaven.
This even created a black market for guts Gu.
Some guts Gu were resold at a much higher price.
Lang Ya Sect had repeatedly raised the price of guts Gu, but the item was still extremely popular, the whole market was like an insatiable monster and even though Lang Ya Sect was already putting full effort in producing guts Gu, it simply was unable to satisfy the terrifying appetite of this monster.
Among Fang Yuan's revenue sources, the profits from the guts Gu trade had already soared far ahead, entering its own level.
Guts gu was the greatest contributor to Fang Yuan being able to repeatedly use rank seven Immortal Gu in battle and easily replenishing his reserves of green grape immortal essence at set intervals.
Lang Ya land spirit received this Gu Immortal soul and spoke: "Man is the spirit of all living beings, with this Gu Immortal soul, we can indeed increase the production of guts Gu to a huge degree next time. Unfortunately, Gu Immortal souls can only be found by fortunate circumstances and not sought out. In the future, the primary investment for this aspect is still in Tai Qiu. Fang Yuan, if you are free, make a few trips to Tai Qiu. Desolate beast and desolate plant souls might be far inferior to Gu Immortal souls, but we can offset it with quantity and the source is also stable. With you taking action, we should be able to develop even more quickly in Tai Qiu."
Lang Ya land spirit thought highly of Fang Yuan's ability.
However, Fang Yuan replied: "I will be going to take part in blood battle martial competition soon, I am afraid I won't have time to split my attention. This is a second Gu Immortal soul, I hope first supreme elder can verify its quality."
"Second?" Lang Ya land spirit raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised.
He knew some details about Fang Yuan, and was not surprised at Fang Yuan selling some Gu Immortal souls.
"This is a featherman Gu Immortal's soul." When Lang Ya land spirit inspected it, he was slightly surprised. Variant humans were suppressed, variant human Gu Immortals were extremely rare. He had not expected Fang Yuan to have a featherman Gu Immortal's soul.
"This is your kill?" Lang Ya land spirit casually asked.
Fang Yuan smiled: "Right."
This Gu Immortal soul was of a featherman, Zheng Ling, the previous soul was Xue Song Zi's.
Lang Ya Sect was a hairy man sect, regarding an unknown featherman Gu Immortal's soul, Lang Ya land spirit decided to take it and did not have the intention to investigate further.
Thus, Fang Yuan gained several hundred contribution points.
Immediately afterwards, he brought out a third Gu Immortal soul.
Lang Ya land spirit smiled: "It seems you intend to sell a lot today. Alright, just take out all the Gu Immortal souls you want to sell."
"Alright." Fang Yuan started taking out Gu Immortal souls one after the other.
He truly had many Gu Immortal souls.
There were souls of Dong Fang Chang Fan, Xue Song Zi, Zheng Ling and others from before. Later, in Hei Fan grotto-heaven, he killed a group. Then finally, he received even more souls in the turbulent flow sea area.
When Fang Yuan took out three Gu Immortal souls in a row, Lang Ya land spirit smiled.
When Fang Yuan took out six, Lang Ya land spirit was surprised, he subconsciously stood a little from his seat, as if he wanted to come closer to check.
When Fang Yuan took out the tenth Gu Immortal soul, Lang Ya land spirit's expression changed, he started pointing at Fang Yuan: "How did you kill so many people?"
Fang Yuan smiled: "It was just luck."
He then continued to take out Gu Immortal souls.
Finally, when Lang Ya land spirit saw Gu Immortal souls all around in the surroundings, he was extremely shocked.
"I finally understand why you are not able to blend in with humans and sided with us variant humans!" Lang Ya land spirit was left speechless.
"You only have rank six cultivation!" Lang Ya land spirit knew details about Fang Yuan, because familiar face was given to Fang Yuan by him.
"How long has it been since you became an immortal? You also still had to travel around here and there to revive yourself. Killing so many people, you are simply like Spectral Soul Demon Venerable when he was young."
Fang Yuan gave a forced smile when he heard the name Spectral Soul: "I am contributing all these souls to the sect, besides this, I also have many cultivation insights, Gu recipes of all paths, Immortal Gu recipes, killer moves and immortal killer moves. Even battlefield killer moves as well as up-to-date maps of each region, which will make it more convenient for my fellow sect members to move in the outside world."
Fang Yuan was undergoing a huge sale!
Lang Ya blessed land's history was extremely long, it had incomparably rich treasures which were even coveted by Heavenly Court and always in the minds of Shadow Sect.
But Fang Yuan had killed so many people, and the things he obtained from soul searching were also extremely abundant.
Most of the treasures in Lang Ya blessed land were payment received in the past by Long Hair Ancestor by refining Gu for others. While some were items purchased by Lang Ya land spirit through treasure yellow heaven.
Among these treasures, the former were stored ages ago, Long Hair Ancestor was a person from three hundred thousand years ago, a figure of the Medieval Antiquity Era.
And the latter could be sold at treasure yellow heaven, one could imagine that the top quality goods among them were sparse, although they would also have rare items.
As for these things Fang Yuan contributed, most of them were the entire foundation of the Gu Immortals, these things were as precious as life to them. Not to mention that they were new creations that would also not be sold for no reason in treasure yellow heaven.
In this regard, Lang Ya land spirit did not reject any offers.
He was different from the previous Lang Ya land spirit, the previous Lang Ya land spirit was only interested in refining Gu, while he was brimming with ambitions, creating Lang Ya Sect and wholeheartedly trying to make hairy men the rulers of the world, restoring their glory from the Immemorial Antiquity Era and Remote Antiquity Era.
Currently, Lang Ya Sect primarily used refinement path, most of the hairy man Gu Immortals cultivated transformation path as well.
Lang Ya Sect wanted to become a large sect, completing Lang Ya land spirit's ambition, for this they needed to incorporate various kinds of things and possess Gu Immortals of all paths. Like the great Huang Jin tribe super forces of Northern Plains, the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent and so on.
Fang Yuan's sect contribution points rose steeply.
In another cloud city.
Twelfth Hair was in the midst of refining Gu.
"Oh no, there is an error!" Suddenly, his expression changed as the fire he was controlling suddenly weakened.
He quickly activated Gu worms, spurting out blood into the fire.
Whoosh.
The fire burned high once again, Twelfth Hair was pale, his body shivering uncontrollably. He had just been injured by the backlash caused by failing in Gu refinement, blood was slowly seeping out of his seven orifices, causing the hair on his whole body to moisten with blood.
His wide-opened eyes were filled with traces of blood, as they firmly focused on the fire.
After a while, the burning fire suddenly erupted and disappeared.
The refinement path Gu formation opened up, revealing over a hundred self will Gu.
The hairy man Gu Immortals raised by the previous Lang Ya land spirit had extremely weak battle strength, but had strong Gu refinement ability.
These self will Gu were only mortal Gu but they were rank five. Twelfth Hair could refine over a hundred of these rank five self will Gu at once, revealing his extraordinary refinement path attainment.
Twelfth Hair thought to himself that it was a close shave, he rejoiced: "Fortunately, I sacrificed myself to make up for the mistake. Otherwise, these self will Gu would be destroyed, not only would it waste the effort I spent over these last few days to refine these Gu, I would also have to compensate for it with three times the refinement materials."
To increase the production of self will Gu, Fang Yuan not only used his sect contribution points to attract other hairy man Gu Immortals to refine them for him, he also supplied them immortal materials out of his own pockets, letting these hairy man Gu Immortals use these immortal materials to refine mortal Gu.
The hairy man Gu Immortals no longer had disdain and disgust towards Fang Yuan like before.
Fang Yuan possessed rank eight battle strength, causing these hairy man Gu Immortals to be filled with respect. Moreover, after such a strong financial ability was revealed, these hairy man Gu Immortals accepted the difference between them and Fang Yuan even more.
Strong dizziness assaulted Twelfth Hair's mind.
"Refining self will Gu eleven times without pausing is truly too consuming on the body and mind. The mistake just now is a warning that I need to rest. I need to quickly recover and accept some of these self will Gu refinement assignments later to earn more immortal essence stones."
Twelfth Hair had a bitter expression when he thought of immortal essence stones, heaving a deep sigh.
"Desolate beasts are not easy to raise."
"These desolate beasts all have great appetites, there is a huge burden on me every month to feed and raise them!"
"More importantly, beast enslavement Immortal Gu is only lent to me, every time I borrow it, I will have to pay with sect contribution points according to the period of time."
"Considering the long term, I definitely need to buy this beast enslavement Immortal Gu. But rank six beast enslavement Immortal Gu needs up to ten thousand sect contribution points…"
Twelfth Hair took out an information path Gu worm.
This Gu worm had one use, to display the sect contribution points of all Gu Immortals in Lang Ya Sect and rank them accordingly.
Simply put, it was Lang Ya Sect's contribution list.
Twelfth Hair looked into it with his consciousness and easily found his name in the upper half of the list.
Then he saw a series of numbers beside his name.
"Over six hundred sect contribution points, but I am still way too far from my target!" Twelfth Hair gave a bitter smile, feeling he had a long way to go.
"But the other hairy man Gu Immortals are also similar to me, some are even worse than me."
"My advantage lies in that I cultivate enslavement path as well, and now already have several desolate beasts with me. I can obtain sect contribution points more easily than others."

Chapter 1200: Dragon Breath Immortal Gu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"That's right, this is my advantage, I need to prioritize my strengths from now on and make full use of my talents in battle."
"I can use this to break the deadlock and drive up my cultivation speed."
"According to this development, my strength will continue to grow and the sect will need me more often. When I have strength like Elder Fang Yuan, the sect contribution points will be solely mine to take!"
"Cheer up, these days will keep on improving, Twelfth Hair, you need to continue working hard and reach your peak in life!"
Twelfth Hair's mood changed, and his fighting spirit gradually returned.
As he thought of Fang Yuan, he subconsciously glanced at the first name of Lang Ya Sect's contribution list.
Last time, because of the four races alliance, Fang Yuan had obtained a thousand sect contribution points which had caused the hairy man Gu Immortals' mouths to water in envy.
But recently, because Fang Yuan had issued large numbers of Gu refinement tasks, his sect contribution points had been continuing to dwindle, and quickly at that.
Fang Yuan's name still occupied first on the list, but the gap with the second ranked hairy man Gu Immortal was getting smaller and smaller.
A lot of hairy man Gu Immortals were waiting for the time when Fang Yuan's name was surpassed.
Fang Yuan was a human Gu Immortal possessing rank eight battle strength, surpassing him at the contribution list would give a different sensation to the hairy man Gu Immortals.
It would be an enormous glory!
However, the next moment, Twelfth Hair's whole body suddenly stiffened.
He remained still like a stone statue.
Because he saw the number behind Fang Yuan's name.
"Over fifteen thousand sect contribution points, how could it be?!" Twelfth Hair almost felt like he was hallucinating.
Ever since Lang Ya Sect was established, there had been no one who had obtained so many sect contribution points.
At most, at one time, Fang Yuan's sect contribution points had reached above two thousand, before it started rapidly falling.
Now, Fang Yuan's sect contribution points had passed fifteen thousand!
Unbelievable!
This was an unprecedented record!
Twelfth Hair's heart shook wildly, but the following scene made him even more shocked.
Fang Yuan's sect contribution points were continuously rising!
Fifteen thousand, eighteen thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand… fifty thousand, sixty thousand…
The number kept on rising steeply!
"It surpassed… eighty thousand!" Twelfth Hair was stupefied at the sight. What made him even more astonished was that Fang Yuan's sect contribution points still showed no signs of stopping!
When it reached over ninety thousand, suddenly, Fang Yuan's total sect contribution points decreased by over seventy thousand!
Only over ten thousand was left now.
"What is happening?"
"Could it be, I actually refined Gu so much that I am starting to hallucinate?"
"This, this is a dream?"
"Ah, no!"
Twelfth Hair suddenly shook and snapped back to awareness.
"Over seventy thousand sect contribution points suddenly disappeared, Fang Yuan definitely exchanged for an Immortal Gu. No, he did not exchange for my beast enslavement Immortal Gu, right?"
Twelfth Hair quickly took out another information path Gu worm and placed his consciousness in it.
After inspecting, he let out a heavy breath of relief: "So he did not exchange for beast enslavement Immortal Gu, but a rank seven Immortal Gu. It is good as long as it is not beast enslavement Immortal Gu."
That was seriously a huge scare!
Twelfth Hair patted his chest, his whole body easing up.
But the moment he relaxed, his eyes rolled backwards as he fainted on the spot.
He had suffered injuries during the Gu refinement process, and his mood had swung up and down at this moment, he naturally would fall unconscious after relaxing.
Achieving his target, Fang Yuan returned to his cloud city.
Inside a secret room, he took out a completely new Immortal Gu.
This Gu resembled light purple colored fog in the form of a dragon, it did not have a fixed shape and was floating around.
Rank seven Immortal Gu — Dragon Breath!
Fang Yuan had finally chosen sword dragon transformation because Lang Ya Sect's treasury had this Immortal Gu.
To exchange for this Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan had to sell all his Gu Immortal souls along with large amounts of cultivation information he had obtained from soul searching.
Naturally, Fang Yuan had withheld some of the contents. Like Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path methods, Hei Fan true inheritance's important details, and so on.
This had sharply raised Fang Yuan's sect contribution points to above ninety thousand. In the near future, this amount would be Fang Yuan's peak, difficult to surpass.
Then, Fang Yuan used over seventy thousand sect contribution points to exchange for the rank seven transformation path Immortal Gu, Dragon Breath.
In just a short while, his sect contribution points had fallen to over ten thousand.
But he still occupied first place on the contribution list.
The second ranked Gu Immortal on the contribution list only had four digits in terms of contribution points.
The gap had been widened by a huge margin.
Fang Yuan's position was firmly in place like a mountain.
Naturally, Fang Yuan did not care about the sect contribution list.
He also did not know Twelfth Hair had received a great impact from this event and had fallen unconscious.
If he knew, Fang Yuan would think he was over-thinking it.
Not all Immortal Gu in Lang Ya blessed land could be exchanged. Beast enslavement Immortal Gu was on the exchange list, but Lang Ya land spirit had clearly left it behind for Twelfth Hair.
Even if Fang Yuan wanted to exchange for it, he would not be able to.
Besides this, rank seven Immortal Gu Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was also not for sale.
This Immortal Gu was originally Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's Immortal Gu, later it was refined by Long Hair Ancestor up to rank eight and was merged into the rank eight Immortal Gu House Refinement Cauldron.
Some time ago, Shadow Sect had invaded Lang Ya blessed land, destroying Refinement Cauldron and seizing many of the core Immortal Gu. Although Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus remained, it had been damaged and had fallen from rank eight to rank seven.
If Fang Yuan wanted to exchange for this Immortal Gu, he would have to pay a very large price that could move Lang Ya land spirit's mind.
However, Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus would not be of much help to Fang Yuan. He had calculated that after he raised his cultivation to rank seven and his immortal essence started producing red date immortal essence, it would be sufficient.
It was not worth it to pay a greater price for just Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
Fang Yuan spent some time before he successfully integrated this rank seven dragon breath Gu into his immortal killer move, sword dragon transformation.
Transformation path immortal killer moves were essentially very simple. Dragon breath Gu was a natural component of sword dragon transformation.
What's more, Fang Yuan was a transformation path grandmaster.
With this rank seven dragon breath Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan simply did not need any dragon breath mortal Gu.
Like in Hei Fan's true inheritance, Hei Fan had really wanted to obtain immortal level day Gu and month Gu. Because then, when he activated days pass like years and similar immortal killer moves, he would not need to spend so many mortal day Gu and month Gu.
Having a relevant Immortal Gu made it extremely convenient.
It also reduced the difficulty of controlling the killer move.
Its effect would also have a large boost!
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan tried sword dragon transformation again.
Silver light burst out, shining towards the sky.
Just looking at this, Fang Yuan knew that sword dragon transformation's might had increased by multiple times.
From within the silvery light, a sword dragon revealed its figure. Its body was more than double the size of before, reaching over forty feet.
Its eyes were still white, its scales were much wider and thicker than before, there were now two more claws, reaching a total of four claws now. The dragon horn protruded out further, piercing towards the sky.
Fang Yuan inspected all over and saw that every aspect had received a huge boost in quality.
"After adding the rank seven dragon breath Gu, this is now an ancient desolate beast level sword dragon." Fang Yuan was well aware.
As such, this immortal killer move could be used at the blood battle martial competition.
The previous sword dragon transformation would not work.
It could only be used to bully some ordinary rank six Gu Immortals.
The current ancient sword dragon had the qualifications to match against rank seven Gu Immortals.
Next was the most important part.
Fang Yuan was unavoidably a little nervous.
He lightly stretched out his dragon body and flew to a completely new dark inkstone.
Dragon breath!
Fang Yuan opened his mouth and breathed out.
In that instant, a pure white sword light flashed past.
Crack, a crisp sound was heard, as the dark inkstone was cut in two.
Not only this, the sword light still had strength remaining to destroy the whole secret room.
Fang Yuan's cloud city shook intensely, giving off muffled noises as large numbers of Gu worms that formed the secret room died instantly.
"I have already controlled my strength, the dark inkstone already bore most of the dragon breath, only a small part of its power was leaked out." Intense joy flashed past the ancient sword dragon's eyes.
Fang Yuan had only displayed a small portion of his strength, but his surrounding environment actually was unable to endure it.
Although the cloud city's structure was exquisite and hairy man Gu Immortals had spent immense mental effort to make it, it was after all only a mortal Gu house, and could not endure the remaining power of the ancient sword dragon's breath.
Green grape immortal essence continued to be consumed to maintain the form of the ancient sword dragon.
Clearly, the immortal essence expenditure had increased by many times.
Where there are gains, there are losses.
After all, adding rank seven Immortal Gu dragon breath had increased the level of the immortal killer move, sword dragon transformation, immortal essence being expended rapidly was an inevitable outcome.
"I can no longer practice in the cloud city. Lang Ya blessed land has many observers, but if I go out of Lang Ya blessed land I will receive even more attention from heaven's will."
"It seems I still need to place my sovereign immortal aperture and properly test the limits of ancient sword dragon transformation."
"The dragon breath I send out has already reached rank seven battle strength, its effect is outstanding and the expenditure is still small. How powerful will it be when I use sword marks targeting death, dark assassination and triple layered sword wave in my ancient sword dragon form?"
Fang Yuan was feeling anticipation.
He resolutely took action, immediately flying out of the cloud city, going through the super Gu formation and teleporting to the outside world.
"Fang Yuan has left. He actually exchanged for dragon breath Immortal Gu, what is the reason?" Sixth Hair was secretly activating investigative methods, paying close attention until the super Gu formation activated and Fang Yuan's figure disappeared from his perception.
After Sixth Hair knew the change in the sect contribution points list, he was filled with unease.
Fang Yuan's development speed had surpassed his expectations again. Moreover, he did not understand the direction of Fang Yuan's growth.
"Fang Yuan naturally won't exchange for an Immortal Gu that has no use to him. No, I need to report this information to Lord Ying Wu Xie quickly." Sixth Hair was filled with worries.

Chapter 1201: Ye Lui Qun Xing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sun was shining bright in the sky of Northern Plains, with no clouds to be seen in the surroundings.
However, at Blood Plain, starlight shone brilliantly, as if stars filled the sky.
Golden Dawn Hall was quietly floating in the air, it stood majestically, no matter how much turbulence was going on outside, it remained lofty and unmoved.
In contrast, the Gu Immortals on Chu Du's side were all standing on clouds, their expressions looking unsightly or filled with worries.
Chu Du was expressionless, but his gaze that looked at the battle was extremely heavy.
"Immortal Wang is going to lose." Chu Du sighed internally.
In the center of the battlefield, Immortal Wang was fighting with the righteous path Gu Immortal Ye Lui Qun Xing!
Immortal Wang had already transformed into a heaven swallowing hound, charging left and right with astonishing might.
The heaven swallowing hound was an immemorial desolate beast, but Immortal Wang was only a rank seven Gu Immortal, this transformation path immortal killer move also did not have a relevant rank eight Immortal Gu in it. So, this heaven swallowing hound's battle strength was only at rank seven level.
And Immortal Wang's opponent, Ye Lui Qun Xing, was tall and thin like a bamboo pole. He had three strands of hair as a beard and had a yellowish-white complexion. Right now, he was far away from the heaven swallowing hound, hundreds of star fragments were flying around him, shining with brilliant light, dying the sky a color of blue.
Immortal Wang's heaven swallowing hound transformation used all its strength to attack.
However, countless star fragments, big and small, tightly surrounded him.
Of these star fragments, small ones were the size of a lantern, while the big ones were the size of an elephant. They kept on flying around, a small portion were encircling Immortal Wang with dizzying speed, while the larger portion were encircling Ye Lui Qun Xing, moving slowly in a mysterious trajectory.
Plop.
A muffled sound echoed, a star fragment firmly collided against Immortal Wang's body.
The heaven swallowing hound's movement slowed, and exposed a flaw when it tried to dodge.
Boom boom boom.
Three muffled sounds resounded as this opportunity was taken, star fragments collided against Immortal Wang fiercely.
The heaven swallowing hound let out a low growl, coughing out a large amount of blood, its feet staggered and almost fell down to the ground.
Any Gu Immortal with eyes could see who was in control of the situation.
Immortal Wang was the one attacking, but was in an absolute disadvantage from start to finish.
And the defending Ye Lui Qun Xing was the one who held the upper hand, putting himself behind layers of defense.
This battle tactic was naturally a correct one.
One often had to choose long range battle when dealing with transformation path Gu Immortals.
Because the Gu Immortal that transformed into desolate beast, ancient desolate beast or even immemorial desolate beast, would have a strong and sturdy body, just relying on their transformed body's quality, their battle strength would increase to a terrifying level.
Gu Immortals of other paths mostly had human bodies. Their physical qualities were weak, even if they had powerful defensive methods, they did not want to put themselves in such a dangerous situation where they were fighting with their weakness against a transformation path Gu Immortal's strength.
The dominance was already clear, Ye Lui Qun Xing was in an impregnable position.
He spoke in a clear voice: "It is useless, Immortal Wang. My immortal killer move was created by taking Dong Fang Chang Fan's myriad star fireflies as a reference, the flying trajectory is extremely profound and inscrutable. Previously, six star fragments could completely obstruct you. Now, there are at least thirty-six star fragments around you, how will you break through?"
This Ye Lui Qun Xing was also a person with an interesting past.
He had challenged Dong Fang Chang Fan, and had suffered defeat after defeat, but had still persisted in challenging him. Dong Fang Chang Fan was a righteous path figure, the number one wisdom path Gu Immortal of Northern Plains who had single-handedly led Dong Fang tribe to prominence.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's defeats did not make Northern Plains' Gu Immortals feel he was weak.
Instead, they very much appreciated him fighting back despite the repeated setbacks, and his steady, unwavering spirit.
As one of the leading figures of the righteous path, Dong Fang Chang Fan could not lay a heavy hand on Ye Lui Qun Xing, who was similarly of Huang Jin bloodline.
There was even one time when after he defeated Ye Lui Qun Xing, he personally instructed him regarding some secrets of myriad star fireflies.
Ye Lui Qun Xing treated the guidance as a precious treasure, immediately going into closed cultivation.
Unknown to him, this was precisely Dong Fang Chang Fan's scheme.
Dong Fang Chang Fan had not only gotten rid of the annoying Ye Lui Qun Xing, this also expressed his goodwill to Ye Lui tribe, and had smoothly accomplished an instance of collaboration with Ye Lui tribe, gaining large amounts of benefits.
Ye Lui Qun Xing had originally felt that Dong Fang Chang Fan was a thorn in his eyes, but having obtained benefits from Dong Fang Chang Fan, he did not feel he could shamelessly challenge Dong Fang Chang Fan again. After coming out of his closed cultivation, he chose to focus hard on his own development and did not even find trouble with other Gu Immortals of Dong Fang tribe.
As such, this trump card killer move of his clearly bore resemblance to myriad star fireflies.
Myriad star fireflies was Dong Fang Chang Fan's killer move, which was famous throughout the whole of Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's move, however, treated the star fragments as the main body, it could be considered as him creating his own unique method.
A real star was extremely huge, Fang Yuan had been using star eyes Immortal Gu up until now, and had only managed to refine one star.
Immortal Wang's heaven swallowing hound transformation kept on coughing up blood, and was struck by more and more star fragments. He could not even retort, he was dizzy and was heavily injured, moreover, his immortal essence expenditure had reached an enormous amount.
The immortals on Chu Du's side showed even more unsightly looks.
"If Immortal Wang is defeated, he would be the fourth person Ye Lui Qun Xing has defeated from our side!"
"His immortal killer move is truly too powerful, when it was just two or three star fragments, they can still be resisted. When fifteen star fragments appear and they work together as one, the difficulty to resist them increases by countless times. Right now, he already has a hundred star fragments, achieving complete dominance, this simply cannot be resisted."
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, the righteous path immortals had smiles on their faces.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin was watching the battle with excitement, Ye Lui Qun Xing was his senior, seeing this senior about to defeat his fourth opponent, Ye Lui Xiao Jin also felt excitement and pride.
On the other side, Nian Er Ping Zhi was still regulating his breathing.
One thing worth mentioning was that Nian Er tribe's position had already moved to the center.
This was because of Nian Er Ping Zhi's battle where he had killed the rank seven demonic path expert Granny Yin.
Many rank six geniuses and experts had the battle strength to go against rank seven. But being able to kill rank seven was a different level altogether.
Adding Nian Er Ping Zhi's young age to this battle achievement, this undoubtedly became even more rare.
By this time.
The allied righteous path forces, and the alliance of Chu Sect and Bai Zu, had already gone through over ten battles.
At the start, Chu Du had the discerning eye to send out the promising young Xue Wu Hen, who won three battles in a row, awing others.
Then, from the righteous path's side, Gong Wan Ting sent Nian Er Ping Zhi. Similarly a rising young genius, Nian Er Ping Zhi's battle result was even more brilliant, using the immortal killer move sword heart clarity and killing the renowned demonic path expert Granny Yin.
Afterwards, Gong Wan Ting negotiated with Chu Du, and the two sides temporarily stopped the battle, setting rules regarding exchange of corpses.
Then the battle began again, Yuan tribe of the righteous path, Meng tribe, and other tribe's Gu Immortals appeared one after the other, while Chu Du sent out Hao Zhen, Chou Lao Wu as well as some Gu Immortals of Bai Zu tribe to contest with them.
Perhaps it was because they were senior Gu Immortals, each side had their own victories and defeats, and suffered varying degrees of injuries, but there were no deaths.
Seeing the situation seemingly entering a stalemate, Gong Wan Ting pondered for a while before sending Ye Lui Qun Xing.
This person was a true main strength among Ye Lui tribe's force. He was an expert among rank seven Gu Immortals, although he had many losses among his battle achievements, they were against Dong Fang Chang Fan, naturally, no one would look down on him.
What made people especially admire him were his character and spirit. He had suffered many defeats from Dong Fang Chang Fan, but he always came back stronger.
Worth mentioning was that Ye Lui Hui Hong had the highest seniority, but his battle strength could not compare to Ye Lui Qun Xing.
The righteous path paid attention to seniority, unlike the demonic path which only looked at strength.
Finally, Chu Du spoke: "Alright, this battle is our loss."
Immortal Wang retreated with a shameful expression.
Ye Lui Qun Xing also did not forcibly go after his life, after all, Immortal Wang still had the ability to protect himself and it would give enough time for Chu Du to come help.
Immortal Wang was pale, his mood extremely complicated.
He was the fourth opponent of Ye Lui Qun Xing and had originally thought of having gotten an easy opportunity, but the result was that Ye Lui Qun Xing's battle strength had not fallen even after three battles.
Immortal Wang returned to his human form and walked towards Chu Du, saying in a heavy voice: "That Ye Lui Qun Xing's immortal killer move is extremely ingenious. His immortal essence expenditure is definitely small, and the star fragments have mutual attraction force between them, creating a good deal of starlight magnetic force, I am afraid it would not be easy to discern the mysteries of this killer move unless one is a star path Gu Immortal."
"The opponent would be implicated by these star fragments. These star fragments are very fast and sometimes they would suddenly form a formless force which skewed my direction, making me lose control over myself many times. Now that I think of it, Ye Lui Qun Xing was weakest in the first battle. Now, he has already released a hundred star fragments, forming an array for battle. The ones who will go later will lose many advantages, and would find it very difficult to go against this array."
Immortal Wang's tone was sincere, these were his sincere words, they were also reasons given to excuse himself and not be held at fault.
Chu Du nodded and patted Immortal Wang's shoulder: "No need to say much, it is good that you returned safely."
It was a simple action, but this action almost made Immortal Wang's eyes tear up.
"Who wants to come fight next!" At this time, Ye Lui Qun Xing called out.
"It seems this person still does not want to retreat and wants to fight his fifth battle!" Chu Du's expression slightly changed, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The immortals behind him started whispering.
"He has already defeated four people in a row, he still seems to have strength remaining."
"Immortal Wang's strength is outstanding, he transformed into a heaven swallowing hound but was still unable to win, sigh!"
Bai Zu tribe's Gu Immortals were silent.
Bai Zu Wei was already dead, what they were good at was not individual battle strength, but Green City Rampage.
Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu's wind thunder roar was renowned throughout Northern Plains, it could be considered a trump card that could pressure the opponents and make them feel apprehensive. It was only that they had already battled separately and still bore some injuries.
When Gu Immortals were injured, because of the conflict of dao marks, they were very difficult to heal.
For a moment, Chu Du actually found that he had fallen into an awkward situation of having no experts to send.
Comparatively, in the righteous path, experts filled Golden Dawn Hall, while Chu Du's side was only an alliance of the newly established Bai Zu tribe and his sect, they indeed had few members and were seriously stretched out.

Chapter 1202: Arrogance Concealed Under Beauty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Do I have to go myself?"
Facing the awkward situation of having no experts to send, Chu Du unavoidably had such a thought.
He could naturally take the stage and also had the confidence to win against Ye Lui Qun Xing.
But what would it look like when Chu Du, as the strongest expert on his side, took the stage? Would it not make their side look weaker?
Moreover, even after he wins against Ye Lui Qun Xing, the other side would definitely continue to send other Gu Immortals. Gong Wan Ting, Yao tribe's Yao Yuan Ying, Guan tribe's Guan Yang, Nu Er tribe's Nu Er Gu and Nu Er Qian, all of these people were experts who Chu Du needed to pay attention to.
Two fists cannot rival four palms.
Chu Du could win one battle, two battles, three battles, but could he guarantee he would win all the battles?
Chu Du fell into silence.
"What, no one wants to fight? We have just reached this stage and there is already nobody left?" Ye Lui Qun Xing did not let go of this chance to mock them.
Xue Wu Hen could not endure this provocation, he was a very prideful person. He requested to be sent by Chu Du: "Let me go deal with this Ye Lui Qun Xing."
However, Xue Wu Hen was only at rank six, how could Chu Du let him go? Xue Wu Hen might be able to battle rank seven, but the other party was an expert among rank sevens.
Chu Du slowly shook his head.
Right at this moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, because an information path Gu worm flew to his immortal aperture through treasure yellow heaven.
"Wonderful! Elder Liu Guan Yi's timing is perfect." Chu Du sent his consciousness into the Gu worm and after absorbing the information, his brows immediately relaxed.
He had confidence in Liu Guan Yi! He had always thought Fang Yuan's strength was only second to his in Chu Sect.
Especially when they made the trip to Crazed Demon Cave, Fang Yuan's performance had left a deep impression on Chu Du.
"Be patient. My Chu Sect's second supreme elder is about to arrive. Ye Lui Qun Xing, why are you in such a rush, enjoy your moment of victory for a while longer." Chu Du chuckled as he said in a plain tone.
"Chu Sect's second supreme elder?"
"Chu Du is the first supreme elder, doesn't it mean this second supreme elder is only second to him?"
"This person is very mysterious, no one knows where he comes from, and we have very limited information on him."
Both sides' Gu Immortals discussed.
The righteous path Gu Immortals in Golden Dawn Hall started discussing and exchanging information on Fang Yuan.
"Think about that Xue Wu Hen, what is strange about them having Liu Guan Yi?" Nian Er Yi Fang caressed his beard, speaking unconcernedly.
"So what if he is stronger? At most, he would have rank seven peak battle strength, our side is a gathering of experts and geniuses." Ye Lui Hui Hong laughed.
Gong Wan Ting spoke softly, her voice lingering around the whole of Golden Dawn Hall: "Chu Du is not blind, this person is placed above Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu. He is Chu Sect's second supreme elder, we should assume that he possesses an outstanding aspect."
Xue Wu Hen's eyes brightened, having many expectations regarding Fang Yuan.
"Elder Hao Zhen, how is Elder Liu Guan Yi's strength?" One Hei tribe Gu Immortal asked. Naturally, this Hei tribe Gu Immortal had now already changed his surname to Bai Zu. He had not participated in the battle of Iron Eagle blessed land, and it was not appropriate for him to ask Bai Zu tribe's Gu Immortals, Bai Zu Wei had died in the battle, and this had become almost like a taboo topic in Bai Zu tribe.
Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu were respectively Chu Sect's third and forth supreme elder. Actually, they were uncomfortable at being underneath Fang Yuan, but right now, they could not damage their own sect's reputation.
"He claims to be a transformation path Gu Immortal."
"But we have never seen him use any transformation killer moves. Even in Hei Fan grotto-heaven, when we resisted the attacks of Heavenly Lord, it was like that."
The surrounding Gu Immortals could not help but draw in deep breaths.
The words of Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu made people unavoidably think towards one aspect.
"It seems this Elder Liu Guan Yi is quite amazing! Even the invasion of Heavenly Lord Bai Zu did not make him use all his strength?"
"This was the person who first intruded Iron Eagle blessed land and seized almost all the eagle nests." A Gu Immortal of Bai Zu bloodline was feeling complicated at this moment.
"He has arrived." Chu Du suddenly spoke.
The immortals behind him followed Chu Du's movement and turned around, looking behind them.
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, the righteous path immortals also cast their gazes over.
A multicolored cloud was flying rapidly, upon which a young-looking Gu Immortal stood at the front with his head held high.
He wore a white robe, the wide sleeves constantly fluttered backwards due to the wind.
He had long black hair and a jade-like complexion, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his nose bridge was tall, and his skin was white like snow. He had a light smile on his face, appearing relaxed and unfettered, and was extremely handsome, even a man would be moved by his appearance.
Just one glance at Fang Yuan left a deep impression on these immortals.
"Elder Liu, you have finally come." Chu Du smiled brightly, flying over to welcome him.
"Domination Immortal Chu Du personally went to receive him?"
Seeing this scene, many Gu Immortals were shaken, instantly, Fang Yuan's status had risen by multiple levels in their hearts.
"What are the origins of this Liu Guan Yi? What has he done to deserve such treatment from Domination Immortal?"
The righteous path Gu Immortals looked at each other, as they started to pay more importance to Fang Yuan's arrival.
"This information path Gu worm records the battle scenes from earlier, look at it quickly." Chu Du flew in front of Fang Yuan, and secretly handed an information path mortal Gu to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan silently accepted it.
Chu Du treated him as an equal, after the Crazed Demon Agreement, Chu Du's and Fang Yuan's relationship had become much closer.
The group of immortals subconsciously went silent, patiently watching Fang Yuan slowly fly towards the battle.
"This person is Ye Lui Qun Xing, he primarily cultivates star path. He has already defeated four people on our side, we need you to show your might and defeat him." Chu Du spoke softly to Fang Yuan as he pointed at Ye Lui Qun Xing, who was standing proudly in the air.
Fang Yuan inwardly thought: "I came over because of this person. A star path blessed land is suitable for me to annex. Moreover, this guy has rank seven cultivation, after I annex his immortal aperture, my cultivation will immediately soar and reach rank seven, I will start producing red date immortal essence."
Ye Lui Qun Xing was tense.
Ever since Fang Yuan had appeared, he had been paying close attention to him.
Fang Yuan's gaze was tranquil, he could not read his expression at all.
After some thinking, Ye Lui Qun Xing solemnly spoke: "I am honored."
The immortals quietly looked at Fang Yuan, awaiting him entering the battle.
Fang Yuan, however, internally was shaking his head.
He had already read all the information in the information path Gu worm, Chu Du had given him, and knew all the moves Ye Lui Qun Xing had shown before.
Fang Yuan had a clear estimation of Ye Lui Qun Xing's strength.
He was probably at the level of experts like Unfettered Scholar and Pi Shui Han, or maybe slightly weaker, all in all, he was an expert among rank sevens.
Above them would be people like Domination Immortal Chu Du and Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei.
And above Chu Du were Feng Jiu Ge and Qin Bai Sheng after regaining his memories.
It was fully achievable for him to defeat Ye Lui Qun Xing with ancient sword dragon transformation.
But killing him would be difficult with a frontal assault. Especially under the view of the crowd and their watchful eyes, everyone was on guard against each other.
Let alone when the opponent was Ye Lui Qun Xing.
The most important thing regarding this person was this immortal killer move, not only did it expend little immortal essence, it also had terrifying offensive and defensive properties.
Even more praiseworthy was his mental state and nature.
Losses could not defeat him and could only make him stronger.
If this kind of person was the enemy, the best thing was to kill them.
Even Dong Fang Chang Fan felt a headache because he could not kill him.
But how to kill him?
Fang Yuan estimated he did not have a high chance of killing Ye Lui Qun Xing. After transforming into an ancient sword dragon, Fang Yuan's battle strength would reach the level of Unfettered Scholar. However, Fang Yuan's ability to sustain a long battle was quite poor, after all, green grape immortal essence could not compare to red date immortal essence.
One hundred beads of green grape immortal essence could turn into one bead of red date immortal essence. But when using rank seven Immortal Gu, the effect that could be reached with one bead of red date immortal essence required at least one hundred and thirty beads of green grape immortal essence.
This created a phenomenon of intensifying expenditure.
Gu Immortals using higher rank Immortal Gu were like children waving around a sledgehammer, it was very difficult.
As he pondered this, Fang Yuan spoke: "I won't fight."
The immortals were stunned.
"Why won't you fight, are you afraid?" Immortal Wang's sneering voice came from behind.
Ever since the Iron Eagle blessed land's battle where Fang Yuan had treated him as a scapegoat, Immortal Wang had felt hatred towards Fang Yuan. The expectant gazes of immortals at Fang Yuan, made Immortal Wang very dissatisfied. He, himself, was defeated by Ye Lui Qun Xing, and the person whom everyone's expectations were placed on was his enemy. Such a feeling left a really bad taste in his mouth.
Fang Yuan did not respond.
Chu Du, however, immediately frowned, as he turned back and gave a fierce glare at Immortal Wang.
Immortal Wang quickly closed his mouth, beads of cold sweat starting to seep out of his forehead.
Chu Du inwardly shook his head: "Immortal Wang and these other Gu Immortals were all lone immortals or demonic cultivators, they are accustomed to being unrestrained. After joining Chu Sect, their awareness has not increased much. Right now, even if he has some dissatisfaction with Liu Guan Yi, how could he reveal the internal conflicts of Chu Sect in front of the public?"
At the same time, Chu Du looked at Fang Yuan, he did not speak but his gaze inquired: Why won't you fight?
Fang Yuan gazed at Ye Lui Qun Xing, sneering: "He is too weak, I can kill him with just my spit. Do we kill chickens with an ox-cleaver? Fighting him is an insult towards my status."
Arrogant!
Way too arrogant!!
For a moment, the stomachs of the immortals churned, as all kinds of thoughts surged in their minds.
Fang Yuan looked like a quiet handsome boy, who could have thought his first few words would reveal the astonishing arrogance within him.
"He actually said he can win against an expert like Ye Lui Qun Xing with just his spit? Even Domination Immortal Chu Du might not be able to do it!" Nian Er Ping Zhi was displeased.
"He is tooting his own horn too much." Xue Wu Hen looked at Fang Yuan with a dazed look. He had always thought he was a very prideful person, but he could not compare to this person before him.
Fang Yuan spouted a lot of nonsense right away. His arrogance caused many people to be dissatisfied.
The most dissatisfied person was Ye Lui Xiao Jin.
He was young and full of vigor, Ye Lui Qun Xing was his tribe member, humiliating Ye Lui Qun Xing was like humiliating him.
Therefore, this young Gu Immortal immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "You don't dare to show your skills, but you have quite the mouth! How can you estimate the skills of my tribe's Lord Qun Xing? You are not being proud, but are intentionally saying this because you are afraid!"

Chapter 1203: Shameless
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I don't know if you are afraid or not, but we can all see whether you dare or not." A Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal sneered.
He had pure Bai Zu bloodline, behind him was Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, even Chu Du did not have a sway over him.
Fang Yuan lightly glanced at this person, the latter looked back without any fear.
Clearly, Fang Yuan stealing the eagle nests had caused the hatred with Bai Zu tribe to be big.
Fang Yuan swept his gaze around, the Gu Immortals all gazed back at him with doubts, curiosity, uncertainty, anticipation and so on. Especially, Xue Wu Hen who was beside him, his gaze was shining.
"Not fighting."
"What kind of person am I?"
"This weakling?"
"Hehe, not worthy of me making a move."
"In the future, when my biography is written, my first battle after seclusion is against Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, but the second battle is with this thing? There won't be any splendor even if I win against such a minor character of Ye Lui tribe."
No matter how open-minded Ye Lui Qun Xing was, his tone unavoidably had become colder from anger: "Hmph, so much nonsense! You have said so much, come fight me if you have guts!"
"You don't have enough qualifications." Fang Yuan held his hands behind his back, head raised and chest out, as he looked at Ye Lui Qun Xing with unconcealed contempt.
Many Gu Immortals' eyes widened.
They really wanted to ask: Ye Lui Qun Xing actually doesn't have enough qualifications, then who has the qualifications? What qualifications do you have? I really don't understand where you are getting such confidence from!
You are clearly a demonic path lone cultivator, who knows where you came from. Ye Lui Qun Xing fighting you is giving you face, giving you the chance to perform and gain some glory.
But the person involved, Fang Yuan, clearly did not have such a thought.
The immortals began discussing, the situation had become noisy from the clamor.
They were all talking about Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan turned a deaf ear to their words.
After a while, Gong Wan Ting's expression turned cold, lightly calling out: "Enough, do you all want to make the grand blood battle martial competition into a joke?"
The righteous path immortals immediately turned silent.
Gong Wan Ting then looked at Chu Du: "Could it be that your side only has troublemakers remaining? Stalling for so long will only make others ridicule you."
Facing the overbearing Gong Wan Ting, Chu Du did not reply, instead looking at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan ignored Chu Du's gaze and slightly turned towards the side, pointing backwards: "You."
"Me?" A former supreme elder of Hei tribe, currently a Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal, was completely stumped, not having expected Fang Yuan to suddenly point towards him.
"Go take the fight, if he can win against you, it means he has some qualifications for me to make a move once." Fang Yuan's tone was still very arrogant, even his own side's Gu Immortals felt their teeth itch from hearing him.
The immortals' gazes turned towards this unlucky person.
This Gu Immortal immediately felt huge pressure.
His anger was boiling: "Who did I provoke to suddenly send me to battle? Moreover, why the hell are you commanding me? I am a Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal, even Domination Immortal Chu Du can only discuss with me. How can you, a mere second supreme elder, command me?"
This Gu Immortal had decided to refuse.
But then he heard the discussions of other immortals.
For instance —
"Ye Lui Qun Xing is so strong, he has already defeated four people in a row. Now, letting this person fight, isn't it letting the enemy gain more battle achievements?"
"Hmph, this person is only a minor character, Ye Lui Qun Xing can easily beat two of this guy."
"He is a Hei tribe Gu Immortal, although his surname has changed to Bai Zu, can he really fight to the death with a Huang Jin bloodline Gu Immortal?"
Wow!
When these discussions resounded in this Gu Immortal's ears, he immediately realized that he had no choice but to go to battle.
He fiercely glared at Fang Yuan, unfortunately, Fang Yuan had already turned around, facing him with his back.
The Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal was furious and aggrieved, but could only give in and fly to the stage.
There was nothing unusual about the battle.
This Gu Immortal was clearly weaker than Ye Lui Qun Xing. After exchanging ten or so moves, he lost.
"I hope Elder Liu Guan Yi can fight now and enlighten us." This Bai Zu Gu Immortal carried his injuries back, and his first words were to sarcastically speak to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan snorted: "You are too weak."
The Bai Zu Gu Immortal suppressed his anger: "I am indeed too weak, elder should show his divine prowess."
Fang Yuan's following words almost made him flare up —
"Taking so long to fight with a weakling like you. I have to admit I had overestimated that Ye Lui Qun Xing. Now, I have no interest to battle with him at all."
"You!" The Bai Zu Gu Immortal was stifled to the point of being speechless.
The immortals' gaze towards Fang Yuan were also vaguely changing.
Xue Wu Hen's expression was even more blatant, he sized up Fang Yuan with intense suspicion.
"So it was like this. The so-called Chu Sect's second supreme elder is just a poser." Ye Lui Qun Xing scoffed, his scoff felt piercing to Chu Du's side's Gu Immortals.
"Lord Domination Immortal, have you ever seen him make a move?" Ye Lui Xiao Jin also added.
Chu Du was silent, he had sensed Fang Yuan's strange behavior but decided to wait and watch.
"Elder Liu Guan Yi, if you truly have skills, go kill him!" That Gu Immortal of Bai Zu tribe sneered.
Fang Yuan lightly shook his head, boasting shamelessly: "How can you comprehend my power? That's why you will never have the hope of becoming an expert like me."
Ye Lui Qun Xing flicked his sleeves and walked away. He knew Fang Yuan could not be forced to fight.
In truth, after fighting five people in a row, he was indeed feeling exhaustion. His immortal essence expenditure was still good, the main thing was that his mind had been taxed a lot.
Seeing him retrieve the star fragments and leave, many on Chu Du's side let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin was also extremely happy, as he raised his head high and ran to the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall to welcome Ye Lui Qun Xing.
How could they have known Fang Yuan to speak: "Look, he is indeed afraid of me, even if I didn't enter the battle, he has been feeling frightened, now he is unable to maintain his cool any longer, having no choice but to leave."
Ye Lui Qun Xing's steps slightly paused.
Xue Wu Hen's eyes widened, as he gazed at Fang Yuan and thought: "There is actually such a shameless person in this world? It has really opened my eyes. Brother Chu actually gave this person the status of second supreme elder, perhaps his judgment has dulled."
Ye Lui Xiao Jin's mouth almost twisted from anger.
On the contrary, Ye Lui Hui Hong's expression slightly changed, he squinted his eyes and started looking at Fang Yuan.
Ye Lui Qun Xing shook his head, continuing to leave without even glancing at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "Ye Lui Qun Xing, f*ck your eighteen generations of ancestors!"
The whole scene was silent, before they suddenly burst into an uproar.
Where is your disposition? Where is it?
The Gu Immortals screamed internally.
Who could have thought the elegant looking Fang Yuan would swear out loud in public. Even if they were fighting for their lives, Gu Immortals always maintained their disposition, after all, they all praised themselves as being righteous. Cursing like this in front of everyone was really letting go of one's reputation.
"His good looks are wasted." A Gu Immortal gazed at Fang Yuan, shaking their head constantly.
No doubt, the favorable impression Fang Yuan gave to the immortals at first glance was already ruined.
Fang Yuan laughed sinisterly, suddenly walking to the battle stage: "Ye Lui whatever, I am here, didn't you want to fight with me?"
Ye Lui Qun Xing stopped and gazed back.
The atmosphere of the whole scene changed.
Inside Golden Dawn Hall, Ye Lui Hui Hong was sitting upright, his expression solemn: "Qun Xing, careful, this person is doing something underhanded. Come back."
Fang Yuan's earlier and later attitude made Ye Lui Hui Hong realize that something was fishy.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Gutless rat, Ye Lui tribe is made up of cowards, you are a bunch of bastards…"
All kinds of derogatory terms were thrown out one after the other.
The immortals were stupefied as they listened.
Chu Du wanted to cover his face, Fang Yuan did not have even a bit of elegance, he was destroying the image of Chu Sect.
A piece of rat poop spoils an entire pot of soup!
It was the first time Chu Du reconsidered on his decision to draw in Fang Yuan, was it correct?
But no matter what anyone said, Fang Yuan's provocation was effective.
The righteous path was easier to deal with than demonic path and lone cultivators in certain aspects. Especially when the question was about reputation. When it involved the tribe and bloodline, even if one did not care on the inside and was willing to ignore the other's cursing, in front of the public, with so many outsiders watching fixedly, it became another situation.
The super forces which were held together by bloodline and blood relations protected and attached great importance to the reputations of their ancestors.
This was their basic moral philosophy!
"Qun Xing, come back. I will personally face the skills of this Chu Sect's second supreme elder." Ye Lui Hui Hong stood up.
Fang Yuan unavoidably felt disappointed inwardly, but laughed on the surface: "Ye Lui Qun Xing, it's time to scram."
Ye Lui Qun Xing waved his hand at Ye Lui Hui Hong, smiling at Fang Yuan, revealing his white teeth: "Since it is so hard to find a chance for you to fight, how can I avoid the battle and escape? It is just that I have fought hard for five battles, and need to rest for a while."
Such a request was completely fair.
Fang Yuan smiled, this Ye Lui Qun Xing could still be so cool-headed. But he also did not expect these words to be able to make these Gu Immortals lose their rationality from anger.
In truth, his pestering had already reached his target.
So, Fang Yuan immediately allowed: "Rest as much as you want, I will give you two or three days. If two or three days are not enough, then take two or three years, hahaha!"
"Hehe, an hour is enough." Ye Lui Qun Xing smiled with clenched teeth.
Fang Yuan was really detestable, Ye Lui Qun Xing was naturally very angry.
But he was also very aware of his own situation.
His immortal essence expenditure was not much and he still had a lot of reserves left. Resting for an hour was mainly to restore his mental energy. He had his own methods for this, and after an hour, he could completely recover to his peak state!
At that time, he will let this Liu Guan Yi taste his power!
This hour of time appeared somewhat unbearable as the Gu Immortals waited.
Finally, Ye Lui Qun Xing recovered and walked to the stage, standing opposite Fang Yuan.
"Liu Guan Yi, I…" Ye Lui Qun Xing was just about to speak when Fang Yuan's body suddenly erupted with dazzling silver light.
At the next instance, a silver colored ancient sword dragon shot out of the light.
It had a sharp dragon horn, its mouth was opened wide, revealing it to be densely filled with sharp fangs.
"So despicable!"
"He actually sneak attacked!!"
The righteous path's immortals scolded at once.
The ancient sword dragon had already neared Ye Lui Qun Xing.

Chapter 1204: How Could It Be Seen Through?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Lui Qun Xing had a great fright as he quickly retreated!
"This shameless guy!" He cursed inwardly, not having expected Fang Yuan's actions. Every time he felt that Fang Yuan was shameless, Fang Yuan's following actions would completely redefine shamelessness.
Fortunately, Ye Lui Qun Xing had been all the while and reacted in time.
One chased and the other escaped.
The distance between Fang Yuan and Ye Lui Qun Xing was rapidly shrinking.
The immortals held their breaths.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin also subconsciously stood up, looking at Ye Lui Qun Xing with worry.
Ye Lui Hui Hong, however, stood stably in his seat, he had a better understanding of Ye Lui Qun Xing's trump cards and did not think Ye Lui Qun Xing was in danger right now.
"So he cultivates ancient sword dragon transformation!" Chu Du thought.
"Ancient sword dragon, based on potential, it is still inferior to my heaven swallowing hound…" Immortal Wang had clenched teeth.
"He finally took action!" This was what many Gu Immortals were thinking.
"Go."
The retreating Ye Lui Qun Xing suddenly called out, pushing lightly towards the charging ancient sword dragon.
Immediately, his whole hand emitted brilliant blue light. A star fragment shot out from the blue light and collided against Fang Yuan with a speed like that of a meteor.
Fang Yuan roared towards the sky before suddenly moving, the whole ancient sword dragon made a beautiful arc in the air, as it nimbly moved past the incoming star fragment, almost brushing past it.
When the Gu Immortals saw this scene, despite having an extremely bad impression of Fang Yuan, many of them could not help but give praise internally, as they sensed Fang Yuan had already reached a proficient level at ancient sword dragon transformation.
Such control made Fang Yuan seem like he was an ancient sword dragon from the start of his life.
"Not good." Immortal Wang suddenly spoke.
Almost at the same time, Ye Lui Qun Xing saw Fang Yuan moving past this star fragment, and the corner of lips slightly raised up.
Ping.
A sharp sound echoed. Fang Yuan's dragon tail swung, directly smashing the star fragment he had brushed past.
The ancient sword dragon Fang Yuan had turned into had a more terrifying tail compared to its claws, its tail could directly smash dark inkstone, let alone this star fragment.
Such a response made even Chu Du pleasantly surprised.
He was happy inwardly: "The information path Gu worm I gave to Liu Guan Yi has records of all the battle scenes of Ye Lui Qun Xing. So Liu Guan Yi knows he absolutely cannot let Ye Lui Qun Xing have many star fragments under his control. The greater the number of star fragments he controls, the stronger he would become. Finally, it would form into an enormous advantage that managed to defeat five people in a row."
Ye Lui Qun Xing was slightly disappointed when he saw Fang Yuan responding in the wisest way, and quickly increased his retreating speed.
At the same time, he repeatedly clapped, layers of blue light covered his two hands, from which star fragments shot out one after the other.
At first, they were only thumb sized, but as they moved in the air, they returned to their original size and flew more rapidly, bringing in strong gusts of wind.
Boom boom boom.
Fang Yuan used his horn, claws as well as his body and tail to destroy all these star fragments.
He did not give Ye Lui Qun Xing any opportunity to accumulate power.
For a moment, star debris flew all around, turning into blue fragments like fog or sand, which scattered with the strong gale, creating a beautiful sight that was difficult to describe.
The silver scales of the ancient sword dragon also added to this beauty, as it moved along the star debris.
Chu Du slightly frowned.
Originally, Fang Yuan made a wise choice of smashing the star fragments, targeting the weakness of Ye Lui Qun Xing's immortal killer move. But also because of this, it led to a decrease in Fang Yuan's speed.
The distance between the two did not shrink much.
The advantage of the sneak attack before had already disappeared now.
Ye Lui Qun Xing had already stabilized himself.
He snorted, as he struck out with his hands rapidly, star fragments shot out everywhere, but not directly towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan fell into a difficult situation with two choices in front of him.
If he charged directly towards Ye Lui Qun Xing, the latter would retreat and he would not be able to forcibly close the distance, at the same time, the surrounding star fragments would keep on increasing, accumulating a great advantage for the latter.
If Fang Yuan dealt with these star fragments, he would have to keep on flying around, and would fall deeper into Ye Lui Qun Xing's scheme, giving the latter the initiative to more easily arrange the battle situation.
The ancient sword dragon slowed down its offense in its state of hesitation.
Sensing this, Chu Du's frown became deeper, while Ye Lui Hui Hong, inside Golden Dawn Hall, was starting to smile, taking a small sip of fine wine.
Despite Fang Yuan's hesitation not lasting for long, he had missed a good opportunity and there were now dozens of star fragments on the battlefield.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's advantage had started to accumulate.
Fang Yuan was surrounded by the star fragments, despite him not caring about his body, and engaging in even more crazed offenses, he was not able to break through the layers of encirclement.
Ye Lui Qun Xing relaxed, the star fragments continued to increase, not only surrounding Fang Yuan, some had also appeared beside him, orbiting around continuously.
"Liu Guan Yi, you acted arrogant and boasted shamelessly, it was to make me take back the star fragments so I would have to lay them out again."
"Your scheme was quite deep, almost letting others think you are wildly arrogant. Unfortunately, I am not the same person I was years ago."
"A few years ago, I already improved upon this weakness of my immortal killer move. It is indeed somewhat weak at the start, but your methods are not enough to restrain me."
"Now, what are you going to use to resolve this situation?"
A dragon's roar resounded, Fang Yuan moved his body, brandished his claws, and destroyed countless star fragments, star debris flew all around.
The dragon's might was powerful, its speed was especially astonishing.
Unfortunately, the spectating immortals sensed weakness within this strong momentum.
Fang Yuan was attacking wildly, but Ye Lui Qun Xing was far away, watching with arms folded in front of him, maneuvering the star fragments leisurely.
As time passed, there were more and more star fragments orbiting around Ye Lui Qun Xing.
"Liu Guan Yi has lost!" Immortal Wang spoke decisively at this sight.
Xue Wu Hen did not speak, inwardly thinking: "Based on strength, Elder Liu Guan Yi is indeed powerful, at the same level as Elder Hao Zhen and Elder Chou Lao Wu. But there is still a gap when compared to Ye Lui Qun Xing."
Chu Du was still frowning, the strength Fang Yuan displayed was not consistent with his expectations. But he still felt Fang Yuan had a trump card and was still confident in Fang Yuan, and until the end of the battle, he would choose to keep his expectations.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin laughed heartily at the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall, and shouted: "That Liu Guan or whatever, why are you not yelling now? Come on, continue boasting. Didn't you say my tribe's Lord Qun Xing could not compare to you? Didn't you say fighting him would lower your status? Why are you not speaking now? Only knowing how to yell, what do you want to vent out?"
The ancient sword dragon roared furiously, destroying the star fragments.
Sensing Fang Yuan's furious mood, Ye Lui Xiao Jin laughed again.
"Chu Sect's second supreme elder is only at this level."
"In all fairness, he does have some strength. Have you counted how many star fragments he has already destroyed?"
"But that is useless, Ye Lui Qun Xing's dominance is already increasing."
"Liu Guan Yi's hesitation earlier decided the battle. This was his only fault but it was perfectly used by Ye Lui Qun Xing."
"Thinking of it, it is also not strange. What is Chu Sect? How can they be on par with our great Huang Jin forces? Their second supreme elder has such battle strength, Chu Du cannot be considered to have made a bad judgment."
The righteous path Gu Immortals drank and rejoiced inside Golden Dawn Hall, the atmosphere was relaxed.
Ye Lui Hui Hong stroked his beard, the smile on his face had become brighter, but at the same time, he did not forget to speak and remind Ye Lui Qun Xing: "Be careful of his dragon breath. The ancient sword dragon's strongest weapon is its breath. Until now, he still hasn't breathed out once."
Ye Lui Qun Xing slightly nodded.
Even without Ye Lui Hui Hong's reminder, he had already been concerned about this.
Experts!
They were not decided with just strength, but also their mental state during battle.
No doubt, Ye Lui Qun Xing who had suffered numerous defeats, had an extremely good mentality. He was an expert that had gone through painstaking training, setbacks and defeats.
His foundation was extremely solid and stable.
However, Ye Lui Qun Xing did not retreat.
Right now, he was quite far away from Fang Yuan, almost at the opposite end of the battlefield.
Ye Lui Qun Xing looked at the star fragments orbiting around him, and thought: "I have a hundred star fragments protecting me. Even if Chu Du personally comes, I can resist for a while, let alone this Liu Guan Yi. Dong Fang Chang Fan, you might have passed away, but let me sustain the reputation of myriad star fireflies for you. After all, my immortal killer move had received your guidance."
Right as most of the Gu Immortals felt the battle was decided, there was a sudden change!
Sword escape Immortal Gu!
Suddenly, Fang Yuan activated rank seven sword escape Immortal Gu.
Right now, he had transformed into an ancient sword dragon, his transformation path dao marks had turned into sword path dao marks, adding on to his cultivation of sword eyebrows Immortal Gu, his sword path dao marks had already reached a number of ten thousand.
A thousand dao marks could double an Immortal Gu's power.
Ten thousand dao marks could add ten times the power!
Sword escape Immortal Gu was already an exceptional movement Gu worm among rank seven Immortal Gu. Now, ten times its power was added!
At the same time, the ancient sword dragon's own speed also had to be calculated.
Sword dragons did not have strong long range attacks, but their burst of speed from a stationary state was astonishing.
Ancient sword dragon, sword escape Immortal Gu and ten thousand sword path dao marks, when stacked together, allowed Fang Yuan to instantly disappear from his spot.
Before any immortals had reacted, he had already flown through the whole battlefield and appeared in front of Ye Lui Qun Xing!
At this moment, Ye Lui Qun Xing's expression was still paused on a strategic and victorious smile. But his pupils had shrunk to needle-sized, as he looked, with extreme fright, at a gigantic sword dragon head that filled his whole vision!
He only had one thought in his mind —
"Impossible! My star fragments' flying trajectories are extremely profound and takes reference from myriad star fireflies, how could he see through it?!"
This was Ye Lui Qun Xing's final thought in life.

Chapter 1205: Be Careful of Liu Guan Yi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everything happened too quickly!
At the previous moment, the ancient sword dragon was still tightly surrounded by star fragments. It was charging here and there, roaring repeatedly but unable to do anything.
At the previous moment, Ye Lui Qun Xing was still at the other end of the battlefield, star fragments were orbiting around him like he was the lord of stars.
At the previous moment, almost all the Gu Immortals felt Ye Lui Qun Xing already had victory in his grasp and the battle was decided. Because they were very much familiar with the scene that was unfolding in front of them.
Before this, the five Gu Immortals Ye Lui Qun Xing had defeated in succession were all in this situation.
Although there was no study of 'subconscious bias' in this world, these Gu Immortals' thought processes were almost the same at this moment.
Then, at the next moment!
Fang Yuan suddenly used sword escape Immortal Gu, instantaneously bursting out with an extremely terrifying speed.
At the next moment, the ancient sword dragon had destroyed all the obstructing star fragments in its path, and arrived in front of Ye Lui Qun Xing.
He opened his mouth and breathed out.
Dragon breath!
While Ye Lui Qun Xing was still confident in his defensive methods, his whole head had instantly been sliced off.
The human body was weak and had many fatal areas. One the head was cut off, they would die. Even if they turned into an immortal zombie, their head was still a weak point.
Ye Lui Qun Xing immediately died!
Fang Yuan smoothly grabbed his body.
A portion of Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul was also cut and before it could escape from his physical body, Fang Yuan had already stored it inside his immortal aperture.
The whole process went extremely quickly.
Fang Yuan had already been plotting for a long time!
Activating Sword Escape, charging in, using his dragon breath and retrieving the corpse. The whole process involved four actions.
But even so, after Fang Yuan finished these four actions, his whole dragon body had already charged out of the battlefield, reaching several li away.
One could feel how terrifying his speed was!
If it were a human body, it might have already burst from the enormous pressure brought by such intense speed.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had transformed into a dragon.
But even with this, Fang Yuan felt quite a bit of pressure when he had charged.
His vision had already turned blurry.
If he had human eyes, they would not have been able to keep up with such speed. But Fang Yuan's eyes were dragon eyes now, even so, it was difficult for his eyes to cope with this speed.
At this speed, even Fang Yuan felt like he could not sustain it.
"If I am to move with this speed, I must use all my energy and concentration in controlling my body."
"Otherwise, if there is any deviation in my direction, who knows whether I crash into peaks or the ground at the next moment."
"This speed is too fast, one moment I am still in the air, and the next moment I am already several li away!"
Fang Yuan thought in his mind.
He thought of when he had first gotten the sovereign immortal aperture and practiced colliding into Southern Border's mounds, besides knocking himself dizzy, the whole mound and even the veins underneath had been destroyed.
This speed was quite suitable for a momentary burst, but in truth, it was not highly practical during battle.
Once Fang Yuan used his fastest speed, he would have to use all his energy and concentration in controlling the ancient sword dragon body. As such, he could only perform some simple actions, or maybe rely on the transformed sword dragon body.
If so, it would be quite dangerous.
Because although Fang Yuan would have a sturdy and strong body in ancient sword dragon form, the sovereign immortal body's characteristic of non-conflicting dao marks would still exist.
"Ancient sword dragon transformation is a classic case of strong offense and weak defense, moreover, there is an extreme imbalance between its offense and defense."
"Fortunately, I actually succeeded this time and killed Ye Lui Qun Xing. My luck is pretty good!"
"First, I need to find a place to annex this immortal aperture before I think of anything else."
Fang Yuan did not return, directly flying away from Blood Plain.
The Gu Immortals of both sides watched his figure dazedly, until he disappeared into the horizon.
The immortals looked at the messy battlefield with countless star debris as well as many star fragments still flying in the air, only then did they come to a sudden realization!
"Liu Guan Yi, he killed Ye Lui Qun Xing!"
"Unbelievable! This is like a dream."
"Too fast, we simply cannot react to such speed."
Regardless of the righteous path or Chu Du's side, they were both clamoring in discussions. Gu Immortals did not transmit their voices secretly, but directly spoke out, as if they could only release the doubts in their hearts by speaking up.
Ye Lui Xiao Jin was standing, dumbfounded, at the entrance of Golden Dawn Hall, like a statue.
Just moments before Ye Lui Qun Xing was killed by Fang Yuan, he had still been shouting and mocking Fang Yuan.
Now, these words he spoke out, as well as his actions, seemed to be like slaps that struck his face repeatedly and resoundingly.
He was shaken and shocked, unable to believe this fact!
Ye Lui Hui Hong also stood from his seat, his hand was still holding a wine cup and his beard was wet from the spilling of the wine.
Just the moment before Fang Yuan killed Ye Lui Qun Xing, he had been sitting and moving the wine cup to his lips.
But after the matter occurred, Ye Lui Hui Hong subconsciously stood up from shock, not caring about the wine cup in his hand, letting the wine spill on his beard, neck and clothes.
Ye Lui Qun Xing was dead!
An expert of Ye Lui tribe, a famous Northern Plains Gu Immortal, Ye Lui Qun Xing was dead.
His death was so sudden that there had been no signs at all.
If Ye Lui Xiao Jin was said to be a future hope of Ye Lui tribe, then Ye Lui Qun Xing was a current pillar of the tribe.
But he had died.
His life had ended here!
This was an extremely heavy impact to Ye Lui Hui Hong and Ye Lui Xiao Jin!
And to the whole of Ye Lui tribe as well, this was an extremely big loss!
"Terrifying, too powerful."
"He is indeed the second supreme elder of Chu Sect, such astonishing battle strength."
"Chu Du really has an eye for talent, I had been looking down on Liu Guan Yi just before, my insight is still too superficial."
The Gu Immortals on Chu Du's side were all showing happy expressions.
Despite them not liking Fang Yuan, the battle achievement was displayed in front of them, Fang Yuan had resolved their difficult problem, Ye Lui Qun Xing, permanently.
From now, there would be no such person in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world!
"Amazing. Elder Liu put on a pretentious appearance to incite the other side, then during the battle, he lured the enemy into having a false sense of security step by step. He clearly has such strength, but he restrained himself until the last moment, when he dealt the fatal blow!" Xue Wu Hen heaved a long sigh.
He was thoroughly convinced.
Such a turn of events made him fully admire Fang Yuan.
"How laughable I was, I had still been thinking Elder Liu was nothing impressive. Sigh, if I was Elder Liu's enemy, I might have died without knowing how I died. I am still too inexperienced!"
"Everyone needs to pay attention, this Liu Guan Yi is extremely crafty, be vigilant when you encounter him in the future." Inside Golden Dawn Hall, Nu Er Gu spoke with a grave expression, breaking the long silence.
Right now, as they thought back to Fang Yuan's performance, they all felt Fang Yuan was extremely insidious and sly.
The arrogance before the battle and the weak display during the battle were just disguises so he could strike with the most fatal attack at the end.
He did not make a move carelessly, but when he moved, it shook everyone!
"Ping Zhi, if you run into this Liu Guan Yi alone in the future, it would be best for you to avoid him and retreat." Nian Er Yi Fang looked at his tribe's future hope, and spoke with worry.
Nian Er Ping Zhi nodded: "Yes! I understand. I am only a Sword Child right now, when I become a Swordmaster in the future and cultivate to rank seven, I will definitely have a proper fight with this Elder Liu Guan Yi."
The righteous path Gu Immortals spoke to each other.
"Ye Lui Qun Xing died a miserable death. The whole battle was in Liu Guan Yi's grasp, what we and Ye Lui Qun Xing felt and saw, was all just his facade."
"Sigh, who could have thought he had such strength."
"Elder Ye Lui Hui Hong, don't blame yourself. We will definitely take revenge for Ye Lui tribe in the coming battles!"
Ye Lui Hui Hong had already snapped back to awareness.
There was one thing he did not understand in his mind — how was Liu Guan Yi able to easily penetrate through the heavy lines of defense from Ye Lui Qun Xing's numerous star fragments!
He had sparred many times with Ye Lui Qun Xing and was very clear on how much power the defensive lines held.
This doubt was shrouding over Ye Lui Hui Hong's heart, like a heavy dark fog.
He took two large breaths, his face was still pale, but he forcibly calmed down because right now, he represented the whole of Ye Lui tribe.
If his performance was not good, the whole of Ye Lui tribe would be disgraced!
"Lady Gong Wan Ting." Ye Lui Hui Hong took a deep bow to the main seat, "My tribe's Ye Lui Qun Xing is of pure Huang Jin bloodline, sacrificing his life here is also a glory for him, he is a hero of our Huang Jin bloodline. But now, his corpse is still in his killer's hands, his soul also might still be alive. I sincerely request to come forward and recover Qun Xing's corpse and his soul."
"Of course." Gong Wan Ting softly agreed, her attitude was straightforward and clear.
According the rules set by both sides previously, they could exchange corpses.
But right now, Fang Yuan had already raced off to who knows where with Ye Lui Qun Xing's corpse. Even if the righteous path Gu Immortals wanted to chase him, they were too late.
Thus, Gong Wan Ting directly asked Chu Du.
Chu Du was also surprised at Fang Yuan's direct departure, and had already sent a letter to ask. Fang Yuan had such strength, Chu Du still needed to rely on him.
Just as Gong Wan Ting had asked, Chu Du had coincidentally received Fang Yuan's reply in his immortal aperture —
"I have great use for Ye Lui Qun Xing's corpse! Brother Chu, if you have no choice, just expel me from Chu Sect."
These were two simple sentences, but they expressed Fang Yuan's firm and unrelenting attitude.
Chu Du frowned, but spoke calmly to Gong Wan Ting: "Fairy, you can rest at ease, Ye Lui Qun Xing's corpse will definitely be guarded properly. I have already notified my sect's second supreme elder. But to exchange for the corpse, your side will have to pay a price."
"Everything can be discussed." Ye Lui Hui Hong immediately agreed, his stance was clear.

Chapter 1206: Becoming Rank Seven!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan had already thrown the matter of the blood battle martial competition to the back of his mind.
He absolutely would not let go of Ye Lui Qun Xing's immortal aperture. Even if he could not annex it right now, he could do so in the future.
As for the righteous path's demand for Ye Lui Qun Xing's corpse and soul, Fang Yuan thought about it and was willing to satisfy a portion of the request, regarding the body.
His focus was the immortal aperture, Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul also could not be transacted, he could soul search and obtain many of Ye Lui tribe's secrets. After the soul search, he could still hand over this Gu Immortal soul to Lang Ya Sect and earn sect contribution points.
"The urgent matter right now is to test whether I can annex this immortal aperture or not."
Fang Yuan flew rapidly.
He took twists and turns, guarding against heaven's will.
A few hours later, he arrived at Tai Qiu.
Tai Qiu was not too far away from Blood Plain.
If looked from Northern Plains' map, Blood Plain would be at the left side and Tai Qiu would be at the right side, the territory in between was Hei tribe's Iron Eagle blessed land.
Blood Plain, Iron Eagle blessed land and Tai Qiu, if these three were connected in two lines, they would form an irregular V shape.
Entering Tai Qiu, Fang Yuan changed his appearance and sneaked inside.
He was familiar with the route, and soon, he arrived at the super Gu formation he had arranged previously.
Through the super Gu formation, he arrived at Lang Ya blessed land.
"Fang Yuan has returned!" Sixth Hair immediately paid close attention to Fang Yuan's every move.
"Ever since he left after exchanging for dragon breath Immortal Gu, this is the first time he has returned. What did he use dragon breath Immortal Gu for?" Sixth Hair was constantly guessing.
He did not know that hours ago, Fang Yuan had used ancient sword dragon transformation to kill a rank seven Gu Immortal expert, Ye Lui Qun Xing.
This person was at the same level as Pi Shui Han and Unfettered Scholar.
Fang Yuan's strength was now already able to compare favorably to these characters.
Since the failure at Yi Tian Mountain, Shadow Sect was in an extremely disordered state, Sixth Hair might very well be the only survivor of Shadow Sect left in Northern Plains, his information gathering was much slower than before.
But the news of Fang Yuan killing Ye Lui Qun Xing could not be covered up. This news was too shocking and would soon spread throughout the whole of Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world, and even Central Continent's Gu Immortals would hear of it.
After all, Central Continent's ten great ancient sects were also paying attention to this blood battle martial competition.
"Eh? Fang Yuan is leaving again?" Sixth Hair was astonished.
The super Gu formation flashed again as Fang Yuan left.
Sixth Hair did not know what Fang Yuan was doing, coming and going in such a hurry. But he intuitively felt something amiss, and was somewhat panicked. He felt Fang Yuan was going to obtain enormous benefits at this time.
Fang Yuan's growth rate was increasing rapidly, and to Shadow Sect, this was very bad news.
Fang Yuan used Lang Ya blessed land to teleport.
He wanted to annex the immortal aperture, for that, he had to first place the aperture.
He could not place the immortal aperture in Blood Plain, the commotion would be huge and it would attract countless gazes, and that was not good for Fang Yuan.
"It was not easy to obtain this rank seven star path immortal aperture, I naturally want the process of annexing it to go without any mishaps!"
When Fang Yuan appeared in the other Gu formation outside, he was already very far away from Blood Plain.
He had already planned his actions, and had already chosen a location.
Exiting the teleportation Gu formation, he hid his tracks and flew rapidly, arriving above ordinary grassland not long later.
After inspecting and not finding anything wrong, Fang Yuan took out Ye Lui Qun Xing's corpse.
The pitiful fellow's head had already been sliced off entirely.
Fang Yuan used temporary measures to handle the headless corpse, ensuring the immortal aperture would still exist.
This method had its own history.
When Fang Yuan had seen Blazing Heaven Demoness' method of retrieving apertures, he had also inquired her for some research results of Old Immortal Kong Jue. Adding on to Fang Yuan's methods from his first life, he had created his own method in preserving an immortal aperture.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul was already taken out by Fang Yuan and sealed properly.
The situation was a little troublesome.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul had similarly suffered from his dragon breath and its injuries were not light. Fortunately, Fang Yuan had guts Gu.
Although this Gu worm was only a mortal Gu, it was created from a secluded domain of heaven and earth, and was among the best methods of soul strengthening in this world. Fang Yuan was the owner of Dang Hun mountain, thus he had large reserves of them with him.
After using many guts Gu, despite Ye Lui Qun Xing's soul being on the verge of dissipation, it was finally rescued.
Fang Yuan released the seal he laid out and threw the corpse onto the grassland.
The mighty Ye Lui Qun Xing, who had enjoyed boundless glory while alive, was treated so casually after dying. If Ye Lui tribe's Gu Immortals were to see this, they would definitely jump out in anger to stake their lives against Fang Yuan.
Several breaths later, there was turbulence in heaven and earth qi.
The immortal aperture began to land on the ground, causing a huge commotion.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had Dog Shit Luck and was not as unlucky as before, when it seemed like he might even die from choking when drinking water.
Without any surprises, the immortal aperture's entrance opened in front of Fang Yuan.
Despite having the upper extreme heavenly eagle, he still took the chance to enter Qun Xing blessed land through the entrance.
Ye Lui Qun Xing's blessed land was rather peculiar.
The sky was a scene of darkness, but the ground below emitted dim blue light.
The moment Fang Yuan glanced, his mind shook.
He discovered, the ground of this blessed land was actually covered with countless star fragments. The large ones among these star fragments were as big as shells, while the small ones were the size of pebbles, and they gave a rustling sound when stepped on.
The blessed land seemed endless in size, its surface was vast and its terrain was level.
Fang Yuan wanted to fly, but felt a powerful magnetic force that firmly kept him to the ground.
The ground suddenly protruded up, then a basin sized star core floated in front of Fang Yuan.
This azure star core was like a dark blue crystal ball, it was this blessed land's land spirit.
It was bright and colorful, and was slowly revolving on its own axis, emitting all kinds of light rays, making Fang Yuan mentally associate them to the rays of light in those perfect diamonds back on Earth.
Amidst soundless communication, Fang Yuan learned about this blessed land's ownership condition.
To ordinary Gu Immortals, this condition was quite difficult.
Because the land spirit's request was to show the true, complete version of the immortal killer move, myriad star fireflies, to it.
While alive, Ye Lui Qun Xing had all along been pondering on myriad star fireflies. The immortal killer move he created also imitated myriad star fireflies heavily.
His obsession was about this.
After death, his obsession combined with the heavenly power in the immortal aperture, to form this land spirit.
"My luck is overflowing, it cannot be stopped, hahaha." Fang Yuan immediately took out the whole contents of myriad star fireflies and gave it to the land spirit.
He was the killer of Dong Fang Chang Fan and had searched Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul countless times, sometimes also torturing him. In the end, he had handed Dong Fang Chang Fan's soul to Lang Ya land spirit like it was rubbish, and exchanged it for sect contribution points.
After a while, Fang Yuan became this blessed land's master.
"Now is the most crucial moment. Let's see if I can annex this blessed land."
Fang Yuan rested for a while before beginning.
Immortal apertures could annex one another, and summarizing the experiences of predecessors, there were three main conditions for this.
First, annexing an immortal aperture required specific attainment level.
Second, a smaller immortal aperture could not engulf a bigger one.
Third, dead apertures could not be annexed.
Fang Yuan already satisfied two conditions for annexing Qun Xing blessed land. But there was still one condition left which was somewhat ambiguous.
A smaller immortal aperture could not engulf a bigger one. The question here was, what was small and what was big?
If it was cultivation level, rank six immortal apertures were small and rank seven immortal aperture were big, then Fang Yuan would not be able to annex this Qun Xing blessed land.
If it was based on the immortal aperture's foundation and so on, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture absolutely surpassed Qun Xing blessed land, and could devour it.
Fang Yuan had already wanted to test this and verify it.
The regretful thing was that there were very few rank seven immortal apertures among the immortal apertures he knew of, and he was also unable to fulfill the attainment level conditions.
Until now, when Fang Yuan seized Qun Xing blessed land.
Fang Yuan had both skills and boldness, he began to test; with the land spirit's help, he began to annex Qun Xing blessed land.
The process was smooth beyond expectations.
He simply did not encounter any obstacles!
The test succeeded!
After annexing Qun Xing blessed land, not only did the sovereign immortal aperture have an enormous star fragment plain, more importantly, many of Fang Yuan's calamities and tribulations were passed, letting him officially ascend to rank seven from rank six.
Rank seven Gu Immortal!
"From this moment on, I am a rank seven Gu Immortal. I have finally become a rank seven…"
Fang Yuan was filled with emotions.
In the five hundred years of his first life, he had only been at rank six second heavenly tribulation level. Naturally, the current Fang Yuan knew that heaven's will had intentionally suppressed his cultivation level.
Heaven's will required an otherworldly demon as a tool to deal with Shadow Sect. Fang Yuan was chosen by heaven's will, naturally it carved and sculpted Fang Yuan to make him a qualified chess piece. At the least, his cultivation level could not be too high, if he was too strong, heaven's will would find it more difficult to control Fang Yuan. He also could not be too weak, otherwise, even with rebirth, he could not be of any use. Rank six was just right.
This was a long term plan of heaven's will!
But at present, because of all kinds of fortuitous encounters as well as his own efforts and perseverance, Fang Yuan had finally broken through heaven's will's restrictions and charged to rank seven.
Its significance was huge!
Rank six Gu Immortals were considered bottom tier, they were numerous.
Rank seven Gu Immortals were mid-tier, they were the elites among Gu Immortals and had high statuses.
Rank eights were rare, their every move could create a storm in a region.
Reaching this level, Fang Yuan had already become an elite among Gu Immortals, an expert. If a rank six saw him, they would have to detour around him. Even among rank seven Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan was only wary of Ye Lui Qun Xing, Unfettered Scholar, Nu Er Gu, such characters of this level.
Chu Du? Fang Yuan estimated he was still somewhat below him. Fortunately, Chu Du was currently his ally.
At this moment, the sovereign immortal aperture began to produce red date immortal essence.
Shortly, Fang Yuan would possess his own red date immortal essence.
At the same time, he could also merge his accumulated green grape immortal essence and turn them into red date immortal essence.
One hundred beads of green grape immortal essence could merge into a bead of red date immortal essence.
"I need to merge them!"
"If green grape immortal essence was used to activate rank seven Immortal Gu, there would be at least thirty percent additional expenditure. After merging them into red date immortal essence, there won't be any meaningless loss in this aspect."
"Once some time passes, I will have reserves of red date immortal essence and will no longer have to fear battles of attrition. The difficult situation when Heavenly Lord Bai Zu attacked Hei Fan grotto-heaven will be completely behind me!"

Chapter 1207: Doing Something Bad
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Hah!" Hao Zhen flew to the sky and spat out a thunderbolt.
This thunderbolt shrunk into a ball, with the color of lapis lazuli, and charged towards Hao Zhen's opponent with a speed that seemed to be slow but was actually fast.
His opponent was a Gu Immortal of Murong tribe who had a burly stature, with muscles that were like layers of rocks, he had a wide nose bridge, large chin, and small forehead, making his head look like a triangle.
Seeing the thunderbolt approach him, he actually did not dodge and let the thunderbolt land on his body.
Boom.
The thunderbolt exploded, lightning splashed out everywhere, dazzling the spectating immortals' eyes for a moment.
After the lightning dissipated, the Murong tribe Gu Immortal was standing on the same spot without even budging.
There was a patch of burnt color on his chest from which white smoke was still rising.
But, the effect was only that.
"This is your strongest attack? Hmm, you have burned some of my hair, it is a little more powerful than before." This Murong tribe Gu Immortal spoke in a tranquil tone without a hint of frustration.
"You!" Hao Zhen's eyes seemed to spout fire from anger, but he was not able to retort.
His strongest killer move had no effect on this opponent.
"Wonderful!"
"He is indeed the Gu Immortal famous for his defense in Northern Plains."
"Murong Gang… this guy has not attacked at all and is only taking the beating passively. Elder Hao Zhen's offense actually could not show any results."
Both sides' Gu Immortals exclaimed in surprise.
Fang Yuan killing Ye Lui Qun Xing had been an extremely heavy blow to the righteous path.
To turn the tide of the situation and raise morale, Gong Wan Ting immediately took measures to make Murong tribe's strongest expert among their current group take action.
It was this burly man who seemed to be forged from steel — Murong Gang!
Chu Du was frowning again.
He sighed internally: "Just now, Ye Lui Qun Xing was killed, now there is Murong Gang. These Huang Jin tribes are indeed the overlords who have ruled Northern Plains for so many years, their accumulation is truly powerful."
At this moment, Hao Zhen admitted his defeat and returned with a pale expression: "I am ashamed, I could not live up to your expectations."
Chu Du consoled him with a few words.
Fang Yuan had not left for long, and he had fallen into the same awkward situation like before.
He looked at the immortals behind him, but found he had no capable people to send.
"In my opinion, the strongest person among us is you, supreme elder. But, you cannot easily take the stage, I think you need to call back Elder Liu." Immortal Wang suggested.
His suggestion was immediately approved by many Gu Immortals.
"Right, Elder Liu's strength is unfathomable, he can kill Murong Gang!"
"Elder Liu killed Ye Lui Qun Xing easily, killing Murong Gang won't be a problem for him."
"Elder Liu's ancient sword dragon breath is too powerful."
Even Murong Gang spoke: "Domination Immortal, don't send other minor characters. Besides you, the only one who can enter my, Murong Gang's, eyes, is Liu Guan Yi. Bring him out, I would like to experience the power of his dragon breath."
"Damn it! He is actually looking down on us." Chou Lao Wu was furious.
Hao Zhen clenched his fists: "If it were two on two, we could use wind thunder roar and wipe them out!"
After seeing Fang Yuan's power, Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu had no more dissatisfaction towards their position of third and fourth supreme elders.
Hao Zhen was only saying this to retain some face.
Actually, he was aware that his and Chou Lao Wu's wind thunder roar was powerful, but it was not easy to use it and it required a safe environment.
Like before, when Heavenly Lord Bai Zu attacked Hei Fan grotto-heaven, they were able to use wind thunder roar because they were protected by other Gu Immortals.
Everyone was anticipating Fang Yuan's reappearance.
Chu Du's side hoped Fang Yuan could raise their might again.
The righteous path's side hoped they could kill Fang Yuan. Avenging Ye Lui tribe was secondary, the main thing was that they wanted to kill this person to salvage their face!
Chu Du naturally also hoped Fang Yuan would take the stage again.
But Fang Yuan had not given any reply.
Chu Du could only smile bitterly at this, and could do nothing about it.
His and Fang Yuan's relationship was of mutual benefits and they held equal status.
Lang Ya blessed land, inside a secret room in a cloud city.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, his divine sense entering his immortal aperture.
He was merging green grape immortal essence and refining them into red date immortal essence.
This merging method was widely popular and was not anything new.
Countless mortal Gu was moving on their specific trajectories, some were standing still, some emitted light, while some flew continuously.
Under the effect of these Gu worms, beads of green grape immortal essence were slowly but surely merging together.
Tens of thousands of green grape immortal essence were piled in this enormous mortal Gu formation.
With Fang Yuan's continuous effort, there were already two beads of red date immortal essence produced at the bottom of the green grape immortal essence.
"Hmm? Chu Du sent a letter again, it is still that Murong Gang… this is already the sixth letter." Fang Yuan's attention slightly diverted.
Shortly afterwards, he threw this information path mortal Gu aside, having no interest to even reply.
What blood battle martial competition, I don't give a f*ck!
Screw off.
In any case, Fang Yuan's agreement with Chu Sect was extremely loose. Besides some fundamental interests and principles, even if he suddenly did not want to do a task, or his interest waned, or he betrayed the sect, or he voluntarily left Chu Sect, he would receive no backlash.
What was the nature of this blood battle martial competition?
Fang Yuan knew it was a political compromise.
This was a stage which Heavenly Lord Bai Zu and Yao Huang, two rank eights, had discussed and created. It was to restrict the scope of the conflict between one another. The basic purpose was to ensure both sides' interests did not suffer loss beyond their bottom-line.
Yao Huang knew clearly that since Bai Zu tribe was already established, it could not be destroyed. At least, he alone was not able to do it.
Because on the opposing side was a rank eight Gu Immortal, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu. As long as he existed, Bai Zu tribe was as stable as a rock.
Unless Longevity Heaven sent a powerful reinforcement, for example, a rank eight Gu Immortal.
When he received the Longevity Edict, he was already reluctant. All he needed was to provide an explanation to deal with Longevity Heaven.
Heavenly Lord Bai Zu did not want to provoke trouble, he had just created his tribe and wanted everything to move smoothly. However, the situation did not permit it. He could only swallow the bitter pill and face the Huang Jin tribes' allied offense.
Just this competition would do. They would not truly fight to the death!
Chu Du had seen through these two sides' thoughts, and because he was coincidentally squeezed in between, he took a huge step forward and established Chu Sect, using Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's might to test the response of Northern Plains' righteous path. If it was accepted, he could expand Chu Sect, if it was not accepted, he would disband Chu Sect. The losses wouldn't be huge and were of no concern.
From Longevity Heaven's standpoint, they naturally did not like seeing other bloodlines mixing in among the righteous path. All along, Northern Plains had been the world of the Huang Jin tribes. They were even more unwilling to see Chu Sect's existence! The master-disciple relationship, compared to the bloodline system, were two different ideologies. Systems based on either one were always sensitive and on guard against the other.
Longevity Heaven's Gu Immortals were clear that once the master-disciple system was spread, it would greatly shake their tribal forces and benefits.
Central Continent was a clear example and the best evidence of this.
"But Longevity Heaven is dreaming if they want to rely on just the Longevity Edict to destroy the alliance between Chu Sect and Bai Zu tribe."
"Unless they become more resolute and send out rank eight experts to kill Heavenly Lord Bai Zu!"
"This world is all about strength."
"Hei tribe did not have a rank eight Gu Immortal to suppress the situation and had also lost their Immortal Gu House, with just some excuses, their fellow Huang Jin tribe members destroyed them."
"Bai Zu tribe is an outsider and not of Huang Jin bloodline, but there is Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, making it a completely different situation."
"Strength… strength…"
Fang Yuan's thoughts lingered over this word.
Rank seven cultivation level.
This was an accomplishment, but to him, it was only another starting point.
"The blood battle martial competition does not match my interests."
"I have the sovereign immortal aperture and can annex other immortal apertures, skipping calamities and tribulations to raise my cultivation and strength. This is a shortcut for cultivation, filled with slaughter and blood. But… I like it."
"I want chaos, the more chaos, the better!"
"But the five regions chaotic war is still over four hundred years later! It is too far away, I can't wait that long."
"I need to think of a way to make them fight. The blood battle martial competition is too gentle, how many can be killed? If there are no deaths, there won't be blessed lands."
"There is also Lang Ya Sect and the four races alliance, hehe, if I let Northern Plains' human Gu Immortals know of them, what will their response be? Regretfully, I am bound by alliance agreements. Although there is 'Do Not Care', it cannot resolve the underlying problem!"
Fang Yuan's only worry was that the world wouldn't be chaotic, sinister and dangerous thoughts started to rise up in his mind.
He did not intend to go to Blood Plain.
The sect's enthusiastic anticipation and the enemy's provocation, what value did they have?
Fang Yuan had to spend all his effort to kill Ye Lui Qun Xing. If his actions had slightly slowed, he would have lost the opportunity. Would those three Immortal Gu Houses just stay there like decorations?
Especially that Murong Gang, he was a tough foe, it would not be easy for Fang Yuan to defeat him, let alone kill him.
Since the start of the battle, Chu Du's side had lost many times, while the righteous path had not even lost one-third of the time.
Hehe, there definitely would be some internal conflicts of the sect involved in this.
This was a trick righteous path Gu Immortals liked to play.
Fang Yuan had first thought of going to Southern Border.
Over these last days, he had adjusted his cultivation plan, using almost all his time and energy in refining dream path mortal Gu.
It was all preparation for that giant dream realm in Southern Border.
But he thought and thought, and felt the opportunity at this blood battle martial competition was truly too rare.
Adding on that on Southern Border's end, it was occupied by the righteous path whom had arranged a super Gu formation to tightly defend the giant dream realm, Fang Yuan felt it would be very difficult for him to meddle in and did not have any opening currently.
Thus, after Fang Yuan refined all the green grape immortal essence into red date immortal essence, he quietly left Lang Ya blessed land and arrived at Liu tribe's territory.
He was going to do something bad.

Chapter 1208: With the Murder Weapon in Hand, Killing Intent Surges
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Northern Plains, Bone Burial Field.
This was a place filled with white bones, countless piles of skeletons were together.
There were some huge skeletons resembling hills, and also small skeletons unassumingly situated by the side.
Most skeletons were pale white in color, under the corrosion of nature in the sun and wind, their flesh had already decomposed, only these strong and tough bones of the desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts remained.
But there were also some bones with special colors. Some were yellow and shining brightly, some were purple and alluring, emitting poisonous gas.
Gu Immortal Liu Yong was paying close attention.
He had the Huang Jin bloodline, he was a rank six enslavement path Gu Immortal of Liu tribe.
Right now, he was manipulating six desolate beast bone armor hounds as he traveled in Bone Burial Field, searching for his target.
The formation of Bone Burial Field had several possible rumored origins.
Some said that during the Olden Antiquity Era, two enslavement path great experts engaged in a life and death battle here, resulting in the deaths of many desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts.
Some said that this was a graveyard of bone monsters. Countless bone monsters felt that their lifespans were ending, so they came here and buried themselves.
Some even speculated that this was a Gu refinement ground created by a refinement path great grandmaster during ancient times, after countless years had passed, it reached this present state.
But no matter what, Bone Burial Field contained large numbers of desolate beast and ancient desolate beast corpses.
Liu tribe controlled this place and developed it wholeheartedly, trying to turn this into a production base for bone path Gu worms.
And every year, Liu Yong would borrow the use of this place, to pick suitable bones for his bone armor hounds and replenish their bone armor.
"This white bone seems like a snake bone, it is soft and cannot be used. If it is eaten, the bone armor would be soft and have no defensive properties."
"This is a poison Gu, bone armor hounds do not have high resistance against poison, they will die if they eat this."
"This bone is not bad, it seems to be a desolate beast steel skin giant lizard's bone. Even though it is not the hardest, it is good enough, especially when it can endure heavy weight."
Liu Yong inspected for a moment, discovering more and more loot.
Eventually, he placed his beloved hounds, the six bone armor hounds, at six different locations.
He himself was lying down on a huge skull, looking at the sky.
"Today has good weather, it is sunny with gentle breeze." He looked at the blue sky, there were no clouds anywhere, and the sunlight was not intense, wind blew on his face mildly, he felt very comfortable.
Looking at the empty sky, Liu Yong felt really bored.
"Hmm? The tribe has sent an information Gu here?" Suddenly, his brows rose as his eyes shone with light, he sensed that something interesting was coming.
His mind quickly entered his immortal aperture, as his consciousness entered the information path Gu worm.
The contents of the Gu worm spoke about the advancements and developments that Liu tribe had made in the last few months.
Next were some rumors, and the actions of experts recently.
Finally, the most important point, it talked about the developments of the blood battle martial competition.
"Murong Gang defeated eight people in a row, impressive!"
"However, between every battle, he has to recover for two hours. He is unlike Ye Lui Qun Xing, he could fight consecutively."
"I heard that Murong Gang has strong defensive methods, but his immortal essence expenditure is huge as well!"
"Sigh, speaking of Ye Lui Qun Xing, it was really a pity. He was actually killed by Chu Sect's second supreme elder in a sneak attack, that was really despicable!"
Liu tribe was a Huang Jin tribe, a righteous path force, when spreading the information, they naturally placed it from their own perspective for their political benefit.
Even though the information was not wrong, the way it was written would give others a different feeling when reading it.
For example, 'losing repeatedly' and 'fighting on despite repeated setbacks', between the two phrases, they would provide different impressions.
All in all, it talked about how strong Fang Yuan was, and the facts about his ancient sword dragon transformation, the information also emphasized on how shameless he was, and how devious and scheming he acted.
The 'Liu Guan Yi' identity that Fang Yuan was using had definitely became (in)famous after this battle, nobody in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world did not know of him, even Prince Feng Xian and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu learned of him, even in the other regions, like Central Continent, they heard about Liu Guan Yi.
After expressing his anger and disdain towards Fang Yuan, Liu Yong thought about himself, sighing.
"I cultivate enslavement path, I am not suited to one-on-one fights."
"When can I gain such fame at the blood battle martial competition too?"
"Maybe one day, I can defeat Liu Guan Yi and challenge Domination Immortal Chu Du! Wouldn't that be really cool!"
Liu Yong was thinking about this when suddenly, there was a huge explosion.
Rumble!
The entire ground was shaking intensely.
"What, what is going on?!" The giant skull below Liu Yong had fallen off the neck of the skeleton due to the tremors.
Liu Yong quickly got up as he floated in the air, staring widely in bewilderment: "This defensive Gu formation is being attacked, someone is attacking here? This is the territory of my Liu tribe!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yong felt that it was unimaginable.
My Liu tribe is a great righteous path force, a Huang Jin tribe, we are a domineering force in the whole of Northern Plains.
Especially recently, their long-time enemy, Hei tribe, was gone, and Chu Du was also being targeted, the future looked promising and they were currently in high spirits, someone was actually attacking Liu tribe's territory now?
Who gave them the guts?
Their dog guts were truly rivalling heaven!
Liu Yong was furious, and also slightly glad: "Thankfully, I came here to pick up bones and feed my bone armor hounds, heh, the attacker is really unlucky to have encountered me… eh?!"
At the next moment, Liu Yong saw the invader.
Or rather, a dragon.
An ancient sword dragon!
It had pale white eyes, a sharp horn that extended to the sky, its scales were shiny and thick, its claws were sharp and powerful, it had a muscular tail, and its teeth gave off a chilly feeling, Liu Yong shuddered upon seeing it.
"Oh? It seems that a member of Liu tribe is here, my luck is pretty good." The ancient sword dragon spoke human words, as its dragon eyes emitted strong killing intent.
"Liu, Liu Guan Yi?!" Liu Yong was stunned.
At this moment, he wanted to cry.
His heart was pounding intensely, his body was uncontrollably shaking as Liu Yong screamed internally to himself: "Stay calm, quickly calm down, Liu Yong! You can do it."
Another voice in his head was resounding: "Calm down my ass, he is Liu Guan Yi, even Ye Lui Qun Xing died at his hands. He is scheming and shameless, unscrupulous and shrewd, I am just a tiny rank six Gu Immortal."
"Calm down, calm down! Right, right! Liu Guan Yi is the second supreme elder of Chu Sect, isn't Chu Sect a righteous path force? Then Liu Guan Yi is a righteous path Gu Immortal! As a righteous path member, how can he attack us for no reason? Attacking us for wealth, that is a demonic path act." Liu Guan Yi calmly analyzed.
At the same time, another voice screamed in his head: "Then tell me, why is Liu Guan Yi not participating in the blood battle martial competition, but here instead? He destroyed our Liu tribe's defensive Gu formation, his evil intentions are apparent! What else could he want?!"
Even though Liu Yong's name had 'courage' 1 in it, at this moment, he was completely gutless, he stammered as his tongue was shivering: "Liu, Lord Liu, why are you here at my, my Liu tribe…"
"Of course it is to…" Fang Yuan purposely dragged his words out.
"Is, is to what?" Liu Yong asked.
Fang Yuan's reply was not in words, it was his dragon breath.
This was the ancient sword dragon's breath, having the rank seven dragon breath Immortal Gu in it, the speed was fast like a flash of white light!
Liu Yong's upper body blew up.
Fresh blood spewed out, scattering on the pale white bones, detailing the sadness and pathetic state of a weakling.
The two halves of his body landed on the ground, his expression before death was still frozen on his face, his eyes were staring wide open.
"Useless fellow. But it is not strange… all of the Huang Jin tribes have been in power for too long, there is unavoidably some rot on the inside. Just like the ten great ancient sects." Fang Yuan analyzed internally.
The bigger the tree, the more leaves it would have, and unavoidably, it would have some rotten wilting leaves as well.
Woof woof woof!
The six bone armor hounds barked at Fang Yuan angrily.
Their owner was dead, but they still feel attached to him, they all ran over, guarding their master's corpse, defending it loyally, as if hoping that it would revive.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan's evaluation of Liu Yong rose by a bit: "It seems that he is passable in raising desolate beasts, unfortunately, they do not have the wisdom of Gu Immortals, what can these six beasts do?"
Fang Yuan sneered as he flew down.
This battle had no unexpected surprises.
An hour later, six fainted bone armor hounds were lying in Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture.
These desolate beast hounds appeared at a good time, Fang Yuan was about to buy some desolate beast dogs and use their faeces to feed dog shit luck Immortal Gu.
There were also a vast amount of desolate beast and ancient desolate beast corpses, they had extremely high value.
Fang Yuan placed them in his sovereign immortal aperture, temporarily storing them somewhere.
And finally, Liu Yong's corpse, his immortal aperture was still hidden in his stomach, Fang Yuan sealed it for now.
This enslavement path immortal aperture was suited for Fang Yuan to annex.
And also, Liu Yong's soul.
After being hit by Fang Yuan's dragon breath, although extremely weak and at Fang Yuan's mercy, it was still alive.
Fang Yuan quickly thought of the reason: "This Liu Yong was an enslavement path Gu Immortal, enslavement and soul path are related, to manipulate desolate beasts, one must have a sufficiently strong soul foundation."
Fang Yuan quickly left the scene of the crime.
He moved very quickly.
Only a tattered defensive Gu formation was left, and the empty Bone Burial Field, as well as the upper body of Liu Yong.
"The next location, Liu tribe's jade light pit."
Fang Yuan licked his lips, showing excitement in his eyes.
He had just committed murder, but now he was not going to retreat, he was going to attempt another crime!
As the saying goes — With the murder weapon in hand, killing intent surges.
Fang Yuan was a rank seven Gu Immortal with ancient sword dragon transformation, his battle strength had risen immensely, he was starting to become somewhat unrestrained.
